What critics are saying about Sunny Nights in reviews
Sunny Nights Season 1 has received positive critical responses following its release on Hulu on December 26, 2025.
Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, “The two American stars, the reason for Hulu to be giving this one a push, are both very good, using their respective comic personae to humorous effect but not schtick.”
Joel Keller of Decider stated, “While not hilarious, Sunny Nights works because of Carden’s performance, the premise’s clash of sensibilities, and its ability to give viewers a glimpse at Sydney’s seedier side.”
Randy Myers of the San Jose Mercury News wrote that “Wilding knows ‘Sunny Nights’ wants to be odd and quirky and embodies the hell out of that.”
Emily Bernard of Collider wrote, “Sunny Nights’ sharp 8-episode first season is a fun, captivating watch, and its finale ties up loose ends while further tangling Martin and Vicki inside an inescapable crime web.”
Tim Lowery of AV Club wrote that “Sunny Nights really gains steam in its last installment, dropping some surprises and setting the stage for a promising new chapter.”
