Sunny Review 2024 Tv Show Series Season Cast Crew Online

This could have been outstanding. But fumbled it. And they’ll probably never put their finger on the why of it.

Whereas Severance (which seems to be the gauge against which this is being measured) turned dull, inexplicable and slow into something exquisite and satisfying, this is just dull, inexplicable and slow.

It is hard to create a convincing and likeable ‘weird’ on purpose. I sense a lot of borrowing from other sources. Maybe there is no formula for the magic? It just happens sometimes.

I just don’t warm to Rashida Jones’ character. And it’s hard when you take against the central character. She plays it a mixture of flat, indulged and whiny. You just want to give here rigid botoxed face a slap. And I don’t know enough about her to tell if this is deliberate and she is a genius, or she just can’t act.

The rest of the Japanese cast are brilliant in a Quentin Tarantino homage kind of way. The supporting characters are way more interesting and you’d rather spend your time with them. But three episodes in and I can contemplate not watching until the end.
