Why do viewers love ‘Sweet Tooth’ so much?

Sweet Tooth happens in a post-apocalyptic scenario. A disease destroyed the world as we knew it, and a few groups of characters try to survive in different ways. The protagonist is a half-deer boy who lives in the woods with his father. For a large part of the show, we have no idea of what is happening.

The pitch alone is already motive to celebration. People are tired of zombies at the end of the world. While sickness is not exactly a new idea, it is NOT zombies, so that’s positive!

Hybrids? Virus? What?

The show is original enough, not about the virus itself, but everything else. There are hybrid children, half-human/half-animal, that seem to be connected to the virus somehow. Besides, what virus is this? We have a name but not proper information. All we know is that it gives you fever, a cold-like virus, and, surprise, it makes your pinky tremble!

Extravagant? Maybe. Weird? Definitely. Realistic? Well, the hybrid babies are adorable, which is a positive point. Yet, let’s face it: by now, we already know that a pandemic will not put our cities on fire, right?

I considered the first episode quite boring. Yet, it is different enough to make you curious and keep watching. It seems to me that it is precisely because of that that most people love the show. It is different, and that’s refreshing.

However, throughout the show, I felt that it lacks something. It only gets interesting near the end. In the last couple of episodes, when everything starts to make sense, it gets really good. Is it enough to make up for the rest of the show? Most people seem to think so; I’m not so sure.

One inconsistency and one cute story

Inconsistencies happen, and they don’t make a show or movie bad per se, but when you see them, you can’t ignore them anymore! For example, was I the only one that noticed that in Wendy’s family pictures (and in her sister’s memories), she is bigger than when she was delivered at the zoo?

We don’t actually know about the cute story, but Johny (contrary to others in his position) seems to have a heart. That could be interesting if explored next season. What’s his story?

It is new and different

Sweet Tooth is refreshing and far away from the zombie apocalypse stories. It has new ideas and a lot of mystery.

The season ended with a cliffhanger, and suddenly all the stories are connected. So now it is time to wait for season 2. I believe it will grow and become even better.

So what do people see on this show? Potential.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV. A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine. The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom. Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and persona...

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...
