MTV describes "Sweet/Vicious" as an offbeat superhero story for the millennial generation. It's about unlikely friends Jules and Ophelia taking a stand against those who dare get away with abuse on their college campus. Jules appears to be the perfect sorority girl, but little do her fellow sisters know that, come nightfall, she adopts a vigilante persona. When computer-hacking weed dealer Ophelia discovers Jules' gig, it rekindles her interest in college life and kick-starts an odd-couple partnership hellbent on exacting revenge -- clumsy attempts and missteps notwithstanding.

This plot is a hard one to master, and I hate that I didn't get to see Sweet/Vicious, which was cancelled after only one season, figure it out. Go to Full Review Hanh Nguyen and Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire 03/01/2019
There's a core of Tarantino-esque fun and excitement to the action. Go to Full Review Drew Koenig Hidden Remote 04/15/2020
It was filled with nuance and warmth, blood and understanding, along with being completely unflinching in what it believed and demanded that you be that too. Go to Full Review Kaitlin Reilly Refinery29 03/01/2019
For all its silliness, it's also unflinching. Go to Full Review Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine 03/01/2019
Sweet/Vicious is here to shine a disinfecting light on all that trash, even if all it gets is this single season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
