Contains spoilers for 'Sunny'
KYOTO, JAPAN: 'Sunny', a mystery series based on Colin O'Sullivan's best-selling novel 'The Dark Manual', premiered on Apple TV+ with its first two episodes airing on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.
The first episode shows Suzie Sakamoto (Rashida Jones) grappling with the disappearance of her husband and son after a plane crash.
However, things take a drastic turn as Suzie begins to uncover shocking truths about her husband.
What was Masa Sakamoto hiding from Suzie in Apple TV+'s 'Sunny'?
Suzie always lived under the impression that her husband, Masa Sakamoto (Hidetoshi Nishijima), used to work on refrigerators at Imatech, an electronics company.
However, when he goes missing, his colleague, Yuki Tanaka (Jun Kunimura) visits her and gifts her a domestic robot named Sunny (Joanna Sotomura) in Episode 1.
This is when Suzie learns that Masa has been working as a roboticist for the past 12 years. As she struggles to process this new information about her husband, she visits his office and finds blood stains in a restricted area.
In Episode 2, she also discovers the existence of a dark manual for the robots, likely used for sinister purposes. The grandchild of a local shop owner shows her a red signature used by those who built and used the manual.
This discovery leaves Suzie suspicious, wondering if Masa was the one who designed the dark manual and if he was capable of causing harm to others.
Has Masa Sakamoto killed someone in Apple TV+'s 'Sunny'?
By the end of the episode, we see Sunny experiencing a brief flashback to an incident in Division 5. As the staff prepares to dispose of a dead body, Masa is seen working on a code where he uses that red signature.
At this point, it appears someone may have died due to the advanced robotic technology developed by Masa, suggesting he may have locked Sunny's memories to safeguard his secrets.
However, the episode still doesn't reveal what happened at Division 5 and where Masa and his son disappeared.
In Episode 3, Suzie will continue her investigation to discover what more was Masa hiding from her and what led to his disappearance.
Two episodes of 'Sunny' are currently available to stream on Apple TV+.
