In the second season of Sugar, Colin Farrell’s detective becomes more of a character

When Colin Farrell publishes the first season of the detective series Sugarhe had to be very much careful with the way he spoke. Sugar it’s an undercover detective story, but it’s also secretly science fiction, which doesn’t really make sense until the middle of the season. “I knew I could take the show seriously if I revealed some things,” he tells me. Now if Sugar heading into the upcoming seasonwhich begins streaming on Apple TV on June 19th, Farrell says he feels “unencumbered” by the secret back screen. “There are some things I can’t say yet about Season 2,” he says, “but nothing as big as the reveal of Season 6.”

Spoiler alert for the first season of Sugar.

The secret is that Farrell’s character, an undercover detective named John Sugar, he is actually a stranger. And he is a very fond guest of old movies, which gave him a good look of humanity, and contributed to his famous features, such as not leaving the house without a suit and tie, and, for some reason, being loved by all the dogs. At the end of season 1, Sugar’s friends fled the world after they discovered what they were, putting their lives in danger. But John stayed behind, in part to deal with unfinished business involving his sister, who had wandered away from home. But he also really loves people, and he doesn’t seem ready to leave them, and his ’66 Corvette Sting Ray, behind.

At the start of Season 2, John takes on a new case involving his brother’s missing up-and-coming boxer, which sends him into the drug-trafficking circles of Los Angeles. At the same time, he is slowly learning about what happened to his sister and dealing with the isolation of his own kind. They often send messages over a strange communication channel, only to receive silence in return. All this forces John to face several new situations for him: loneliness, violence, and, in the end, even love. For Farrell, that’s the growth factor that makes Sugar’s latest venture so exciting.

He said: “Even if the person comes from where he came from, he always used the method of investigating the person’s condition. “Season 2 is a matter of honoring the foundation that we established, and adding it, and putting Sugar in a place where new aspects of him will be revealed and will be challenged, he will have the opportunity to hear things that he has not heard before, and be confused about what to do with those feelings, whether they are related to what we can do with violence or unrelated to love or love. we are in a state to respond to a certain event or place And it is the same for Sugar.

That said, the weather he does Answer important questions about John’s origins, though I won’t spoil anything at this point. But the most interesting thing about the continuing story is how Yohane grows as a person. He’s still a great detective and a good friend, but he messes up, makes bad decisions, and goes against his beliefs to help others.

After spending so much time on Earth, especially since he’s isolated from his own kind, John is living like the people he loves the most. And through this they become very vulnerable. In fact, one moment in the second season presents the most intimate look of John so far: he is not dressed or injured, but wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, which is a stark contrast to his police uniform.

“It was really strange,” says Farrell. “To the rest of the world in jeans and a sweater, it felt like something else.”
