SUNNY is not an easy, relaxing watch. It is beyond quirky and does not reveal a great amount of info in each weekโs episodes. JOEY SAKAMOTO is no different than the others except viewers now have a mini-cliffhanger. There are moments I am not sure I care enough about the outcome, but it does pique my curiosity. I do want to know what the heck happened, and so I wonโt let it go.ย
I adore the acting abilities of Rashida Jones as Suzie. She is the glue that keeps the story and audience together. We feel empathy for her as she tries to hold it together while being lost in such tremendous grief and guilt. It is a double-edged sword and no one can set her free until she knows the truth. All of this is conveyed through her physicality, her facial expressions, and the extra breaths she takes just to survive. She is powerful but in a very sorrowful, soul-searching way. Now thatโs acting.ย
SUNNY offers a look at another culture with all its unique customs and traditions. It teaches audiences that there is more than one way to view our world. This is good for America. We truly are not alone.
SUNNY is streaming on Apple TV+.
