Synopsis
Sunny (2024) is a mystery-drama with a streak of dark comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Suzie, an American living in Kyoto, loses her husband and son in a baffling plane crash. As a get-well gift, his company hands her a robot.
The robot is called Sunny, built by the same electronics firm her husband worked for. Suzie wants nothing to do with the chirpy little machine at first. Then it starts knowing things about her family that it shouldn't. The deeper she digs into who her husband really was, the more the perfect-marriage story falls apart — and the helpful homebot turns out to be a thread leading into yakuza, buried research, and a crash that may have been no accident. Rashida Jones leads, with Japanese star Hidetoshi Nishijima beside her.
Shot in Japan and adapted from Colin O'Sullivan's novel, the show pairs cold Kyoto neon with deadpan jokes and a slow-burn paranoia about AI you actually want to trust. Ten episodes, each one twisting the knife a little further. Made for anyone who likes a detective story wearing the costume of a cozy robot-companion tale. Stream Sunny (2024) online on iFILM.
