Rashida Jones and a Robot Star in Apple’s Stylish, Unsatisfying Mystery ‘Sunny’: TV Review

Voiced by Joanna Sotomora, Suzie’s companion may resemble a more globular Michelin Man with an animatronic display, but she’s been custom-coded by Masa with a personality as prickly as his wife’s. The yakuza emerge as cookie-cutter villains, and while aspiring boss Hime (mononymous actress You) pulls off an eye-catching haircut, her crusade against sexism in organized crime doesn’t hold our attention.
