    Great start then comes the episode 3. I loved the comic it was a dark survival story. Then these idiotic writers decide to throw all the realism in the wind by adding some little girls playing virtual reality games and getting great a fightin? Like what the hell? How would they even have power to waste on virtual reality and let me tell you that does not make you a warrior. Anyway theseGreat start then comes the episode 3.

The men have training and machine guns on their side but hey what can you do when these little girls have knives and virtual reality experience. They ruined another comic good job idiots.… Expand

    Sweet Tooth is an incredible tv series based on the acclaimed comic series by the same name by creator Jeff Lemire. The show adds much backstory to the original, but it is all welcome and very well performed by the superbly talented cast that brings the characters to life.

    God, I don't get this show, although I do realise I'm probably not the target audience, but still...
    Unfortunately, this show also reminds me how much I dislike a lot of child actors, he just immediately got on my nerves and never stopped, although I'm sure at least a good portion of that is down to the character to be fair to him.

    Either way, by no means a must watch

    The show is dumb. If you can watch it without shouting at the tv "what!? What!? How!? That makes no sense!? Are you serious!?" Then you are dumb too. Sorry but it's true and you know it or you would if you weren't so dumb.

    They took an excellent graphic novel and disneyfied it to the point of abstraction. It's not an adult show and it's way too violent for children so who is it for. I    The show is dumb.

I wanted to love it and it has some nice moments but it's so dumb dumb dumb. Also its offensive to survivors of the pandemic in the way they chose to portray the virus as it was filmed during the worst of the pandemic. The cgi is terrible which makes no sense in 2021 for Netflix and the music is heavy handed and lazy to force emotions. Overall a low budget poorly written missed opportunity which isn't for anyone except the dumb and those that wish they were dumb so they too could enjoy it as much as everyone else.    … Expand

    Abysmal. Combine the worst parts of M. Knight Shyamalan, Comic Book Style Story-Telling, and furry culture and you get this tragic traffic accident of a series. We begin with an unspecified plague which coincides with the birth of furries. The plot deteriorates further. I dropped it at Episode 3, where we have a VR fueled group of Furry Warriors serving as some kind of credible resistanceAbysmal. Combine the worst parts of M.

    Lost me when it tried to preach. The world ended because of a virus per the show, but what we hear over and over is pollution and greed did it, even though the environment appears fine. And apparently flashy computers, make-up, hair dye, and Hot Topic are in good supply (though apparently shoelaces aren't?) Then we get lines like "I wish all the men were gone."

    Schön erzählte Geschichte, sympathische Charaktere, bin neugierig wie's weitergeht, falls Netflix nicht schon wieder eine gute Serie absetzt

    Compelling, different, surprising. I honestly thought I’d hate this and it turned out to be actually a good post-apocalyptic drama. As much as it should veer on unbelievable, it actually does well to hold it together into a cohesive story.

    Very Bryan Fuller like, to the point that I checked to see if he had any involvement in it. It's a dystopian Fairy Tale made for adults. The world building is fantastic and I can't wait for another season. It's not meant to be realistic and if people are looking for this they need to look elsewhere

    Estética surpreendente. Fábula infantil com tema adulto . Sem dúvida fará muitos marmanjos se emocionarem. Única defeito é que esse seriado acaba .

    A charming show with a lot of heart takes some familiar tropes (post-apocalypse, pandemic etc.) but combines them all in a very apppealing way. The child actors are all excellent and the pacing is good. It's a little odd that the episode lengths varies so much but that's hardly an issue on Netflix. Overall, a great and wholesome show, despite some pretty dark themes throughout.

    After seeing how disturbing the comic was when I read it I was not expecting this show to be this wholesome

    Fittingly switching between sweetness and bite, Sweet Tooth is a children’s fable fit for grown-ups. It’s not startlingly original but is buoyed by affecting chemistry between Christian Convery and Nonso Anozie.

    In short, "Sweet Tooth" exemplifies the best of what fantasy storytelling can be, creating a whole world without ever forgetting that the most important one of all is our own.

    The transition of Sweet Tooth into more of a family-friendly fable is a good look for this sprawling tale, one that thankfully is full of hope rather than destruction. Sweet Tooth does this through an endearing adventure that shows rebirth and new chances can come out of even the worst disasters — which makes this a rare uplifting pandemic story in 2021.
