Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 12/09/2021
It seems unfair to call a drama about a ruined world a mess, but this feels, quite deliberately, all over the place. Go to Full Review

4/5
Visually striking and grippingly plotted up to a cliffhanger of a season finale, Sweet Tooth is suspenseful, thoughtful, and timely in ways that couldn't have been planned. Go to Full Review
Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) 01/29/2024
It’s extremely sweet in parts, with creatures and characters that might have come from Jim Henson’s workshop, and nostalgia that recalls the likes of Stranger Things and Sweet Tooth’s own origins as a comic strip. Go to Full Review
Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 04/21/2023
A true original that’s completely strange, Mrs. Davis is a breath of fresh air in a reboot-happy medium. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 16 Season one of Sweet Tooth is a surprisingly heartfelt and imaginative experience that blends post-apocalyptic drama with fairy-tale innocence. The show introduces a unique world and takes its time building it, focusing more on characters than constant action. Gus is instantly endearing, and his innocence creates a strong emotional contrast against the harsh realities of the world around him. The supporting characters are well developed, each carrying their own motivations and trauma, which makes the story feel grounded and meaningful. The screenplay slowly reveals its mysteries without overwhelming the audience, allowing the emotional beats to land naturally. Strong direction, solid performances, and lush visuals elevate the material and give the series a distinctive tone. Season one feels creative, sincere, and confident, setting up an engaging foundation for what follows. See more Temmie C Sep 30 This isn't Sweet Tooth and if you're here to watch that, then don't bother. It changes the story too much, to the point where I have to ask what even the point of this show was. If it was to adapt Sweet Tooth, why change the story? And if it was just to be inspired by the comics, then why use most of the characters without adding their actual plotlines? It feels like they wanted to dumb-down the original story, and turn everyone good except for the 'bad guys', which was idiotic to begin with. Please, if you enjoy the comic series, don't even so much as look at this show. Its eye-candy, and that's all it has going for it.

See more Oakley A May 7 Season 1 introduced itself as a unique and interesting story with memorable characters. Unfortunately, that seems to be where it peaked. Season 2 and 3 seemed to deteriorate immensely in their writing the further the story went on, the later story moved way too quickly for its own good, and plot points seemed to be added en masse just for the sake of keeping the show going. Still cried at the ending, though. TL;DR - A unique series, but wouldn't recommend watching past S1. See more jonathan @Jonathan1234899 Feb 7 The show is just depressing. I don't know why anyone would want to watch children suffering at the hands of terrible people. See more Read all reviews
