    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. Production value is excellent, and the story grabs the viewer right from the beginning to bring them along a journeySweet Tooth is an incredible tv series based on the acclaimed comic series by the same name by creator Jeff Lemire.

I could not recommend this series more, and I am highly anticipating season 2.… Expand

    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.
