Season 1 Review: In Netflix’s new heartfelt, utterly enjoyable fairy tale series, “Sweet Tooth,” the post-apocalypse is refreshingly less inhospitable and dour. While it’s definitely not a completely fun-filled utopia, it is an antidote to the grimdark worlds we usually see in apocalyptic fantasy and one brimming with love, hope, beauty, and, well, sweet treats.

Season 1 Review: The performances are strong throughout—Anozie is particularly remarkable—but it’s the consistently inventive writing and robust filmmaking that makes the project stand out. It’s heartfelt and fantastical at the same time. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 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.

Season 1 Review: If you can withstand the early earnestness, the lack of subtextual consistency shouldn’t be a problem, and so much of Sweet Tooth lands exactly on its desired terms. The performances are sturdy, the action scenes thrilling and Jeff Grace’s score conveys the right notes of adventure and melodrama. Read full review

Season 1 Review: "Sweet" has far more going for it than against it, and its eight-episode season will likely be quickly devoured by fans. It may not be the next "Stranger Things," but it certainly gets closer to that formula than many other series that have tried. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We were surprised how engaged we were with Sweet Tooth, even though it’s a show about a virus that wipes out most of humanity; it’s not something you want to contemplate as the real pandemic we’re suffering through winds to a close. But good performances and an adaptation that grounds things into some sort of reality saves the show from eye-rolling preciousness. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It is either warmly eccentric or hysterically crazy, perfect entertainment or a horrifying attempt to parlay the pandemic into a commercially palatable mashup. It is undoubtedly aimed at a younger-than-full-adult audience; my 10-year-old is entranced. I am, too, although I can’t yet work out why. Read full review

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.

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 journey full of heart and hope. I could not recommend this series more, and I am highly anticipating season 2.… Expand

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 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

Either way, by no means a must watch… Expand
