“Sunny” is not only an engaging thriller, but one of the most intriguing series this year has to offer.
I worry, therefore, given the goofy cliffhanger with which the first season concludes, that the show misunderstands its strengths. These do not include “realistic action sequences” or tight plotting. But I’ll devour that second season if it comes, because I desperately want more of the proud, tetchy, immersive, oddly relatable world it builds around Suzie and Noriko and Mixxy.
You never quite know where “Sunny” is heading and that’s a good thing. The series leaves the door wide open for a Season 2 and I’d gladly walk through it.
The series, created by Katie Robbins, is much more successful when it concentrates on personal relationships — I’m including Sunny here, obviously — than on the mystery and conspiracy elements, which are no more compelling or even the point of the journey than a villain’s plans in your average Bond movie.
“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.
