After a woman’s husband vanishes in a plane crash, the robot he was secretly working on is given to her to help her cope. The catch is she never knew her husband was working on secret projects like this one, or why other companies seem interested in the cuddly AI in her living room. If this sounds intriguing, you can watch the first two episodes of Sunny on Apple TV Plus right now.
Taking from the likes of Black Mirror or Severance, as well as adding a healthy heaping of black comedy, the show is dark and dramatic but also appears to be rather prophetic, if its trailer is anything to go by. Starring Rashida Jones as Suzie Sakamoto and Hidetoshi Nishijma as Suzie’s husband Masa Sakamoto, Sunny started airing with two episodes on July 10. Subsequent episodes will follow every week until the finale airs on September 4 later this year.
