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.

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.

A beautiful and unique show with a heart-warming message about found family. This was obviously a labour of love for it's creators and I was gripped from beginning to end.

Sweet Tooth has a magical and addictive story. It's inspirational, insightful, and emotional. The characters are lovable and the visuals are very great. What makes this series so amazing is the Storytelling. The writer has used 5 basic elements of storytelling in this series. 1: Hook
2: Suspense
3: Familiarity
4: Emotions
5: Sequence of Storylines All these elements of storytelling are used excellently in this series which makes it a lovable story.

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).

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.

A lot of this feels like prologue to the real story, a first chapter to a much broader, more fleshed-out tale that has all put all the pieces in place that it takes the concluding episode of this season to reach. Luckily, the charismatic cast and a sure-footed command of story beats keep it on the right side of plodding. With a winning (and occasionally brutal) approach to its darkly fantastical imaginings, Sweet Tooth find a nice balance between its sugary and bitter elements.

There are moments towards the end that show us, once again, why it was one of the best TV series of 2021. However, the journey to that point is exhausting and might prevent some viewers from even finishing the binge.

Hands down the best thing I've watched all year. Thought this was going to be a little kiddies show, but it was not. Not by a long shot. I've got no idea how they got away with such adult themes, pandemic, end of the world, death, murder, freakin vivisection! This show was so amazing in almost every detail. There was a whole bunch of suspended disbelief necessary, and just a tad bit leaked into eye rolling territory, but this was a 99% well done solid dystopian scifi extravaganza. I'm hoping they bring it back for a second season. This was great.

If you loved the comic, this is like a heavily rewritten fanfiction that keeps like 20% of the original content and adds a lot of new **** you never even heard about it (good) it's a modern fable which mixes pseudo-scientific gibberish with spiritual mumbo jumbo, in an attempt of making a post-apocalyptic show for families. It kinda works but the dialogues and the situations depicted range from boring to borderline silly, always predictable and almost never thrilling.Most actors do an excellent job, the production is high-quality, but that's pretty much **** you hate humanity and have a comprehension of the animal world derived from Disney movies, you might like it.

I liked this one very much. The vast nature and realistic acting of the actors were excellent, but I think the ending is a bit disappointing.

Premise doesn't work for me. Just make it a zombie story instead of getting cute.

This felt like an apocalypse show for 10 year olds -- a weird juxtaposition of corny interactions that prevented the story from really exploring the dark world in which it's set. The acting was a pleasure to watch. But, the characters were one-dimensional. Certain interactions where hammed up and corny. Overall, the world felt dumbed-down. Parts of the story were too cutesy for the context. It seemed like the show was sugar-coating important aspects of the world for no good reason.
