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.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed. This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
