“Sunny” is not only an engaging thriller, but one of the most intriguing series this year has to offer.
It sounds like a lot, but Sunny stays firmly in control of itself and never sprawls. I suspect it is intended to scratch the Severance itch while we wait for the new series; it probably will. But it is undoubtedly its own thing – and a very good one, too.
Overall, Sunny is a hugely captivating series from Apple TV and A24 which will keep you guessing throughout. Part sci-fi, part corporate mystery, part dark comedy and much more besides, this gripping watch has a big ‘ole beating heart at its centre – and it’s all the better for it.
There’s a real edge to the show’s style and suggestions but often a hollowness where its beating heart — or even just the more reliable mechanics of plot and pacing — would be. But with buns this tasty you only half miss the burger. The most interesting, complex and original aspects of “Sunny” are its biggest ideas and its tiniest details, its questions about the relationship between technology and emotion and its sumptuous specifics such as the perfect garnish on a rococo cocktail.
“Sunny” conveys an immersive, eye-catching vision of the near future, even when the central storyline can’t quite deliver on its attempts at character-driven suspense.
The cross-cultural immersion-aversion seems genuine enough, though Suzie is a character balanced awkwardly between grief and the comedy that threatens to break out around her, but never quite does.
Like so much of the streamer’s content, Sunny is a handsomely made series featuring A-list talent that amounts to a little less than the sum of its parts.
