Sweet Tooth

Very interesting take on a pandemic, yet a very endearingly. Acting is superb and good storyline. Manages to appeal to a large age range. I didn't give the show enough credit when I first watched the previews. Far better than it appears. Give it a try. It's enjoyable.

First, the virus in the show is beyond ridiculous, even for a comic book. They ask A LOT from the viewer to accept this. I almost didn't watch the show because I thought it was just too stupid. I'm very glad I gave it a chance. Within the first 20 minutes I was hooked. The story telling, plot and characters are just well thought out and interesting. I always wanted to know what happened next. I also came to realize that the virus and how crazy it is was just a very interesting set up to be able to create a lot of intriguing situations. It isn't perfect by any means though. Sometimes the costumes look a little cheesy. It also can be a bit kiddish from time to time, though at other times it is definitely very "adult". It's like they couldn't decide exactly what age demographic they wanted to go for, so did a little of everything (I wouldn't recommend it for kids under 13 at the very least). All that said I'd definitely recommend it. It was a fun ride with some situations that you'll find yourself thinking deeply about without even realizing it.

I'm not sure wtf happened between season one and season two, but the show has taken a nosedive in quality. The costumes are goofy, the plot is all over the place, the kid actors besides Gus are literally some of the worst characters put to screen (pEEeTeR). They are comically wooden and one dimensional, we get it there is an elephant kid. Also why do all of the hybrid kids look like they were dressed by the crew of 1970s Sesame Street? The Becky side story is painful to watch, general abbot has 0 charisma. The show focuses on every character except Big Man and Gus, who are literally THE reason anyone is watching this show, and in doing so it completely loses any sense of tone or coherency.

I have to say Sweet Tooth was so much better than I it to be. It's a charming story that takes place in a post apocalyptic world. This show has everything you want in a good fantasy series...it's full of drama, action, comedy, suspense, twists, etc. The best part of the show though is easily the relationship between Gus and Big Man. I never read the source material so I can't compare them but even if I did I would still like the show. I don't understand why people don't like a show because it strays from the source material, as long as it's still entertaining then who cares? I would definitely recommend this series to any fan of fantasy or sci-fi. I'm glad they renewed it for another season. Looking forward to seeing more of this show.

I feel that I was needing this show. Although the environment is familiar with the one we're living on (a world pandemic), this show warms our hearts with friendship, innocence and hope. The story is binge worthy at the same time you always get the feeling that everything is gonna be okay. And that's so refreshing. I was very surprised with how good the show is.

Rated after Season 1. Hoping S2 keeps up!
