Sunny Nights

description

Sunny Nights is a darkly comic crime series created by Nick Keetch and Ty Freer, pairing Will Forte and D'Arcy Carden as a mismatched pair of American siblings who relocate to Sydney, Australia, in pursuit of a fresh start. Their big idea, a spray-tan business, is meant to be a clean, sunny path to reinvention, but it quickly drags them somewhere far messier.

Forte plays Martin Marvin and Carden his sister Vicki, and as their fledgling venture stumbles they become entangled with local criminals, spending the series scrambling to stay solvent, out of jail and, ideally, alive. The show mines its comedy from the gulf between the siblings' cheerful, sun-kissed ambitions and the seedy underworld they keep tripping into, set against a vivid Australian backdrop and populated by a largely local ensemble, including a debut acting turn from former rugby league star Willie Mason.

Produced for Australia's Stan before reaching a wider audience internationally, Sunny Nights was selected for the Berlinale Series Market, signaling festival interest ahead of its premiere. A brisk, offbeat crime comedy powered by the odd-couple chemistry of its leads, Sunny Nights is streaming on Hulu.

Bunheads

2011
Comedy & Humor
If you have missed a chance to be hooked up with Gilmore Gilrs, the new ABC's dramedy Bunheads is exactly what you need. The first episode of Bunheads has left such a feeling that if there were a little bit more of GG-like moments in Bunheads, the CW lawyers would inevitably file the suit against ABC. And that is not surprisingly taking into consideration the fact that the TV show was created by the same Amy Sherman-Palladino who created splendid Gilmore Gilrs. It is felt throughout the sharp dialogs, giddy repartees, deeply portrayed personalities and perfectly constructed dance scenes. The astonishing dancing ingredient of the Bunheads, is of course not only the personal merit of Sherman-Palladino, but Sutton Foster and Kelly Bishop. Both of them have quite serious dancing background. Another Sutton's and Kelly's merit is drollery atmosphere which these two awesome women create around themselves. Kelly plays Fanny Flowers, a small town dance studio owner, while Sutton portrays Michelle Simms, a cute dancer being caught in the lower point of the career, when series of questionable decisions had led her out of Las Vegas dancing scenes to small rural town Paradise, California where she met Fanny. There are more pry personalities in the series like talented and perfectly shaped Sasha (Julia Goldani Telles) and purposeful Bettina, aka Boo (Kaitlyn Jenkins). All the characters feature inexpressible chemistry between each other, and the spirit of the show is sweet, pleasurable and cuddlesome.
