Sunny

"Make no mistake, this isn’t a through-and-through unsettling dark sci-fithriller by any means. Sunny is also that rare hit that juggles multiple tones, with dark humour opening a window of levity now and then. With a saturated, high-contrast colour palette and Japanese aesthetics, the visual tone of Sunny also adds to a certain mood, far removed from the dim shades that Hollywood usually goes for such titles. Add to the mix the flashy, retro-styled intro credits, and its funky soundtrack, and you think of a field of sunflowers crookedly grown through metal at a scrapyard. Of course, there are blimps on the road, like how it seems as if the series didn’t have a lot to say in a couple of filler episodes in the middle. Or how vaguely the yakuza storyline is written. But in retrospect, these niggles disappear. With futuristic robots, outstanding performances, pristine set designs, and Hollywood’s big production sensibilities meeting stunning Japanese locales, Sunny is truly top-tier television that calls for a sequel."
