John Sugar is a private detective who primarily takes on missing people’s cases. In the series, after returning from Tokyo, Sugar picks up the case of Olivia Seigel, the missing granddaughter of Hollywood legend Jonathan Siegel.
Sugar’s nature
Sugar doesn’t like hurting people, as he thinks this world already has enough suffering and he doesn’t need to make extra contributions.
He is kind to individuals facing challenges and often offers them help. Regrettably, not everyone takes full advantage of his generous support.
Sugar is a huge movie buff. Sugar’s behavior often resembles that of many characters from the movies. He is passionate about vintage films and the memorabilia associated with them.
Being a movie buff himself is one of the reasons he is quickly attracted to the case of Olivia Seigel.
The show hints that Sugar is suffering from some kind of ailment in his arm. Ruby keeps insisting that he visit Dr. Vickers.
Loneliness
While hanging out with Melanie Matthews, Melanie decodes the kind of life Sugar is navigating after learning that he is a Virgo.
She says Virgos are honest, loyal, and kind, but deep down, they are lonely. She guesses that Sugar doesn’t have a wife, kids, or a home; he has chosen to be alone. Sugar’s blank face suggests that Melanie is possibly right.
Another reason Sugar is investigating Olivia’s case is because she reminds him of his sister, Djen, whose case doesn’t seem to have ended on a positive note.
