It never falls into the trap of making the viewer feel as if nothing is real and nothing really matters. Season two builds skilfully to a showdown with several bravely uncompromising payoffs, delivered in a way that its younger viewers can easily appreciate, not least because it tends to be grownups who meet their fate.
-
Sweet Tooth continues to be an engaging and fun story, which is pretty impressive for a show about the human race being quickly wiped out.
-
It’s back for a second season, with much of its charm intact. The uninitiated might want to hit a recap before jumping in, but otherwise Sweet Tooth remains quite welcoming, the kind of thing you might watch with your adolescent (provided you’re up for talking a little global pandemic and eugenics).
-
Series two may be darker, as already pointed out. But it’s brisk and big-hearted, too.
-
Sweet Tooth isn’t the best show that’s explored the aftermath of a devastating pandemic in recent years, but it offers a good second season that lets its characters continue to grow and shine. The plot and tone don’t always make sense, but the strong emotional core and well-executed themes produce a charming look at how to gracefully handle change.
