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.

All these elements of storytelling are used excellently in this series which makes it a lovable story.

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.

Series two may be darker, as already pointed out. But it’s brisk and big-hearted, too.
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.
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.
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.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you how the whole series is. I could barely tolerate the first tediously boring first episode that I watched at an accelerated speed. I only finished watching it so I could honestly review how dull this is and that it doesn't get better by the end of episode 1. Maybe it improves, but there's lots of better television out there.
