From the pilot episode of 'Sugar' on AppleTV (Season 1 Episode 1) Watch John Sugar interact with the homeless guy. What is that Saxaphone song? • Visit Croatia
I’ve been there. You’d be surprised at how much a tiny little bit of care can do for someone who needs it. A couple words can be a literal life-saver, or lead to a realization that someone (myself) would need to get on the path of fixing their own life, to be there for the people that care about them.
This speaks volumes. Without giving away any spoilers, John Sugar seems to be a good reader of people’s intentions. Yes, as another poster said, Carl does not have a happy ending but the truth is nobody can 100% know if someone is capable of receiving help but that doesn’t mean the help should not be offered. John Sugar seems to not lack resources and he doing street outreach but he seems to have assessed Carl as being down on his luck and has empathy for him. It resonates much more after episode 6 when we learn much more about why he is here and yet still seems to care about people much more than the average human.
*Spoiler alert!* Episode 2: Homeless guy rent a motel room with his buddy(Not the dog), left the dog outside the motel room. Homeless guy later died from dr*g OD. Edit: Fortunately, Sugar saw Wiley(the dog) and took the dog with him.
This is very touching and all, but in at least 90% of cases, the homeless guy would've been gone when John got back to his car, and that $100 would already be in a crack pipe or a syringe. People who work with the homeless are at first shocked to discover that most of them /choose/ to be homeless because their mental illnesses and/or addictions make them want to live life unencumbered, and shelters have "rules." That sounds crazy to most of us -- I mean, who on earth would choose to live like that? And sure, people with social capital and things to live for would never choose that life, but people choose to do all kinds of things (running with gangs, drug dealing, etc.) that most of us would never do. If most homeless people were like the fictional Carl, we wouldn't have a homeless problem.
Well said. I agree. My brother s homeless by choice. Family members have for decades reached out offering him jobs , shelter, a place to shower and a chance to reconnect. He’s having none of it ,but he will take money from us. I guess his independent streak will only go so far. Sad
This happens in the first episode. In the SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS second episode, we find out that's exactly what happened. OD'd in a motel. Used the money to buy drugs. One of the bills to snort it.
@@user-qu2df1io9h No shit talk you gotta get to California, you get paid to be homeless there from what I’ve seen. Also since you got a phone you could research the best states to live in with cheap housing/decent pay to get off the street as quick as possible. Plus ik it’s not much better but it’s a roof over the head, in a lot of Midwest/southern states you can get a really cheap car, even if it doesn’t run great you’re out of the elements for a few hundred.
In the lord of the rings gandalf stated: It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.
I felt manipulated by the show. These strange random act of kindness with strangers are just a bait. Just like the old movie scenes, the car, the dog and cat. Clickbait. Its like the writers googled what people like and included it in the show just to attract and emotionally manipulate viewers, but they never are part of the story. And the whole show is just a woke diverse crap.
But we are part of this story, many of us are as lost and alienated from those who genuinely care about us, as that homeless guy. Sugar sees this. Don't be so cynical.
Sure pal, whatever you gotta say to feel good about yourself. I bet you're full of life experiences, you probably know all about what its like to deal with mental health problems, medical problems, drug addiction. You know, the kind of stuff that cause people to fall into homelessness. This could never happen to a person like you.
@@Kaanin Always someone behind their keyboard thinks they understand the world better than anyone else. I totally agree. Plenty of homeless who are good and decent folk that just hit some hard times.
@@KaaninI’m a recovering Cocaine and meth addict so I know the deal 40 years ago I started recovery I reached out and sought the right people ( I went to all the wrong people for all the wrong reasons). I made the choice not some Government program. I didn’t do it alone and nobody could do it for me , truth is these people are there by choice no victims just volunteers. It’s the hard truth I blamed everyone for what I lost but I gave it all away. Ain’t no free lunch in life you pay for it one way or the other
"Thanks for remembering my name."
That speaks volumes to those less fortunate.
It speaks volumes to anyone. I used to suck at remembering names until I realized how important it was.

Because of this I want to watch the whole show 😂
Salute .
*Spoiler alert!*
Episode 2: Homeless guy rent a motel room with his buddy(Not the dog), left the dog outside the motel room. Homeless guy later died from dr*g OD.
Edit:
Fortunately, Sugar saw Wiley(the dog) and took the dog with him.
I thought because he gave him some fake stuff.
Wack
That was a ass hole 🕳️ thing to
Do.
Why?
This little side story made me tear up.
This me 5 years ago go broke because of gamble.
Powerful emotion caught in that scene. Unfortunate too knowing how few great deeds occur in our world. Greed.
The phoniest thing about the whole scene is that he found parking right in front of where he was going.
😂💯
This is a homeless man that wants to be helped, at least somewhat.
Wow. What an incredible scene.
When I meet someone I treat them with respect whether theye are homeless or what !but it's up too the person whether theye keep my respect
What song is being played around 3:00?
Visit Croatia - Alabaster dePlume
@@alexjamesbilodeau thank you bro
I'd sure like to know about that car. As it's identical to a car that I've ridden in and worked on.
He stole it from you.
@@c.davidgraves4848 it belonged to an employer I had. And it was concourse de Elegance in condition. Even had trophies...
Sugar’s car is a 1966 Corvette C2
If you can't recognize a Corvette Stingray,
you shouldn't be working on it!
@@imthebadguy3225 are you just an asshole all the time? I didn't say anything about it not being a Corvette stingray.
What show is it?

I've been homeless for a year now, and I don't use any drugs, alcohol, anything. I don't even smoke. So, up yours buddy
@@user-qu2df1io9h you got an I phone so quit gripping and up yours !!

Where's the part where he uses it to buy more booze?

He’s an alien mate

Couldn't just stop with that second to last statement huh?🤦🏾♂️
“Could happen to anyone”. Couldn’t happen to me because I wouldn’t lay around in the street all day. Hollywood is stupid.
