Loving the retro yet futuristic esthetic of the visuals and set design! A bit early to speak from an overall perspective since just two episodes have been released thus far, but it feels very promising!
Rashida is a great casting for Suzie and the overall mystery of the series feels very eery and intriguing.
I also like the buddy cop dynamic growing between Suzie and Sunny.
Apple TV keeps delivering!

The show started well, the future, new interesting technologies, Japanese culture, mystery and thriller... but at one point the concept changes. The story is supposed to be told from the eyes of Suzie and Mixxy as the main actors, but the story expands and spends a lot of time on background stories of other characters where it slowly starts to lose fun like at the start... but omg the ninth episode, is for children... little children...
It's a shame a good idea was ruined, how it started could have been something special, this way it will be forgotten very quickly, and actors will have a harder time getting better roles because of a childish show.
P.s. The robot should have a dark mode on face/screen, how could Suzie sleep next to him when he is shining like cinema...

Apple have done it again. Their content is often quirky and unusual and Sunny is no exception.
Rashida Jones's Suzie is a great character, spiky and sarcastic. As her relationship develops with Sunny her robot it becomes normal watching them interact.
Having Japan and Japanese culture, mixed with an American protagonist, and the difficulties this brings when a tragedy happens is interesting.
The futuristic elements are also really well conceived as they are believable, and not too unlike our present world.
I love to watch foreign films and series as subtitles don't bother me. Don't let it put you off.

This is a slow burn series, but you only get half way through the story as Apple has cancelled it.
I did enjoy the show, but it's a bit of a slow story line so it takes a bit of stamina to get into it. But when you do get to start enjoying the characters, and the funny humour of their interactions, you find the series ends and the story has only been half told.
This series cries out for a second season and I believe it would have been a great success if Apple had any foresight or courage. This could of become series people would talk about years from now.
But it seems they are like most other streaming services, only after a quick buck.

I'm only through 5 episodes but am pleasantly surprised. I tuned in because of Rashida Jones but have stayed for its delicate moments. For a sci-fi thriller this show takes a softer hand and is more creative than I expected. The plot is nicely decorated with philosophy and culture, of which none is overtly stated. The plot develops nicely and preserves its mysteries but it's the scenes in between that are memorable. My favorite so far comes at 23 minutes into Ep 5 and prompted me to write this review. No spoilers from me so if you can handle its loose grip then you may be as pleasantly rewarded as I've been for staying tuned.
