Colin Farrell is no stranger to playing the grizzled detective. His Sonny Crockett in Michael Mann’s Miami Vice was a taciturn undercover detective, while Ray Velcoro in True Detective was a volatile corrupt cop. But he’s never played a character quite like John Sugar in Apple TV+’s genre-bending noir series Sugar.

“This guy is so pursuant, he's so consciously aware of what he feels, his own moral compass, and living a good, clean, decent life,” Farrell tells Inverse. “And that felt almost out of place for this world of neo-noir.”

Sugar begins as a decent guy and wants to stay that way. But when a rich Hollywood producer hires him to find his missing granddaughter, his righthand woman (Kirby, formerly billed as Kirby Howell-Baptiste) warns him that this could be the one to break him.

The iPad has always existed between things. In fact, it was originally pitched as existing in between the iPhone and Mac, capable of things both devices can do, but designed to be better at a few key tasks.

From one angle, that made the iPad the antithesis of netbooks, pale imitations of notebook laptops Steve Jobs characterized as not being particularly good at any one thing because of their cramped keyboards and lousy performance. From another angle, the iPad was a big version of the iPhone, a home for touchscreen apps and games, but in many ways a better version, especially if you liked watching video, browsing the web, or reading books.

Now 14 years since its original release on April 3, 2010, and over a year since Apple last updated it, the future of the iPad is more complicated and laptop-like than ever. Apple’s tablet has changed radically since the first-generation model was introduced in 2010, not necessarily in its capabilities, but in how Apple fits it into its lineup. The original iPad proposed a turn towards a casual, iPhone-inspired vision for the future of computing that has come to pass, but not entirely in the way Apple imagined.
