Pick of the week
Sunny
Rashida Jones stars in this series (adapted from Colin O’Sullivan’s novel) about an American woman living in Japan whose husband and son disappear in a plane crash. In a daze of grief, Suzie (Jones) reluctantly takes delivery of Sunny, an infuriatingly cheerful – and worryingly perceptive – domestic robot made by her husband’s electronics company and programmed to respond to her unique sensibilities. But there’s a mystery: Suzie soon becomes uncomfortably aware that robots like Sunny might not be as safe as they seem. It’s a gripping mixture of pitch-black comedy and cleverly realised future shock, with an excellent performance from Jones.
