    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

    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."

JFC can we have nothing without some **** trying to teach their retarded, backwards ass lessons? Shame as I was enjoying it until then. Even with its Postman knock-off vibes. Actor playing Gus is just a win.… Expand

    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.
