In Sugar, the titular detective PI John Sugar needs to investigate the disappearance of a big-time Hollywood producer's grand-daughter. It's a big Los Angeles scandal, which shines a light on the seedy underbelly of the movie world.
However as the sleuth looks into this young woman and her powerful relative, he discovers the family's dirty secrets, and we also learn about John Sugar's own muddy past and his compatriots and enemies.
Curious to see this new detective show? Here's how to watch Sugar so you can follow along with the investigation.
How to watch Sugar
Sugar is an original show for Apple TV Plus, so to watch it, you'll need to sign up for Apple's streaming service.
A monthly subscription to Apple TV Plus (there is no annual plan) costs you $9.99 / £8.99, not including any free trials (scroll down to find out more).
A word of caution: 'Apple TV Plus MLS' is a separate plan, just for soccer streaming, and it won't let you watch Sugar.
