Brightened up by Rashida Jones' sly comedic timing, Sunny is a melancholy sci-fi series that positively glows.

David Opie Empire Magazine Rashida Jones gives a career-best performance in this strange yet moving series that pushes back against the algorithm by pulling us to and fro in surprising, unpredictable ways. Rated: 4/5 Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine If viewers come back for Season 2, it will be thanks to the characters, not the cliffhangers. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya Autostraddle Sunny feels less like a warning of the dangers of AI and more like another effort to normalize it. As a grief drama and character study, it’s thrilling. As a tech dystopia, it’s murky. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked I definitely was not expecting that (a) one of the world’s biggest computer companies has brought us such a prickly, unsettling vision of our possible future living with A.I., and (b) that Apple has made a new comedy that isn’t allergic to conflict. Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Tynan Yanaga Film Inquiry Our globalized world is becoming increasingly complex and Sunny has such a striking, even unprecedented, opportunity to tackle this growing reality. It gets part of the way there before reverting to genre mechanisms that feel mostly standard issue. Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Nicola Austin Radio Times 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. Rated: 4/5 Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Rachel M This could have been good, and it was at times. But the plot seemed haphazard. I also didn’t find any of the lead characters likable, so it limited my emotional investment. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review David C This show isn’t well written. Another fine example of plot points joined together with “and then” instead of “therefore”. The show tried to delve into some Sci Fi troupes, but it’s implemented as shallow as the true intention of this show. A better example of Sci Fi troupes being implemented in to an urban setting was They Cloned Tyrone. That movie builds better stakes and meaningful interactions in 25 minutes than this show does in 4 hours. The show offers no stakes. The writers aren’t talented enough to let their villain do more than give off a slightly unsettling vibe which leads to extremely underwhelming “pay-offs”. It tries INCREDIBLY HARD to be quirky and authentic. It refuses to let it’s villains berate. The writers forgot the first rule of authenticity. Being bold and taking risks. After I came to that conclusion, I stoped watching. I refuse to continue to watch a show that refuses to take itself seriously within the tone it sets for itself. This show is sterilized and safe to appeal to the largest audience possible. It follows the corporate sellout cookie cutter format. Which is highly contrasted when the show tries soooooo hard to be awkward. The food has no flavour here. P.S. Why is the CGI quality for the robot fights like something out of a 1997 Mortal Kombat type movie? Just lazy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Cristian s Demasiado rancia. Arranco con un concepto interesante que me llamo la atención pero se fue deshilachando en una combinación de ritmo lento, chistes malos, incoherencias y mucho relleno (si, una serie de 10 capítulos donde por lo menos la mitad o mas son relleno). No esperaba mucho pero se las arreglo para desilusionarme igual. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Bill G SLOW and BORING…waste of time! Main character was written as an idiot. The pacing is so bad and doesn’t go anywhere. It’s worse than a chick flick. Who spent money for this? Who invested in this? Was this part of some money laundering scam? Seriously, 1/2 star is too much for this steaming pile of dog mess. 90% rotten tomatoes score??! Really?! This was stupid!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review S B This show was amazing. I’m actually quite surprised by all the negative reviews and extremely disappointed that it was cancelled on Apple TV. And I am quite critical in television shows. WTH Apple TV?! Heartwarming, suspenseful funny show that developed the characters beautifully. Anyone who’s traveled to Japan or loves Japanese culture will appreciate the show. Now I have to go buy the book to see how this thing ends. Shame on Apple TV for cancelling one of its best shows!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review María f Very original, interesting and fun, deals with current issues regarding AI. It's a shame Apple TV canceled it, especially because the cliffhanger. It's disrespectful to the audience. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
