Not passion, as in romance. Passion as in, I love what I am doing and I am going to get every bit of it perfect. Creator Mark Protosevich loves film, loves LA, loves the old hardboiled shamus films -- clearly not the case with the team behind Monsieur Spade! -- loves people, dogs, rare alcohol, fine cars .... you get the picture. Sometimes, it's rare, you find a production that overflows with such passion for detail you can get lost in the process instead of the content. Sugar has great content too, and Farrell, having landed the role of a lifetime, puts everything he has has into it. Special entertainment. Sip it. Savor it. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
