Sunny

Matt Roush says...

Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) exercises her dramatic chops in an offbeat near-future sci-fi dramedy hybrid about a woman and her A.I. robot named Sunny. Jones is Suzie, an expat living in Japan, who’s wracked with grief when her husband and son go missing and are presumed dead after a plane crash. When the husband’s tech-giant employer gifts Suzie with an A.I. “homebot” companion named Sunny as consolation, Suzie is less than thrilled, finding these bots creepy—and she’s not wrong. But Sunny is awfully perky and determined to be there for the grieving woman. And when Suzie begins snooping into what really happened to her family, Sunny proves to be quite resourceful. Launches with two episodes.
