The first of Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics held that robots cannot harm a person or allow a person to be harmed through inaction. Sunny, a twisted techno-satire on Apple TV+, asks: What if they could?
Set in an alternate present Japan in which roving friendbots that resemble chest-high iMacs are common companions, the show follows a woman who believes her son and engineer husband died in a plane crash. She learns that her husband was working on a hush-hush project involving those robots—and that it's possible to override their safeguards in order to make them violent.
