Sweet Tooth (2021– )
7/10
Not sure if I'm going to stick around

There really need to be more tv shows failed by the awesome might of Netflix based on rather obscure comic books. Though it took me a while to get into (mainly due to the overt use of narration) after a couple of episodes I eventually did. The tone is delightfully dark yet playful and isn't afraid of a little murder or too. Yeah the story gets over the top especially later on but it's based on a comic what do you expect?

Now the downside: there was a famous director that once said to never try to direct children or animals this has hybrid children animals so it was doomed to suffer in the acting department from the get go. The main actor isn't terrible though his character continuously makes decisions and emotes in increasingly cringe-worthy fashions but once more hybrid children enter the fold it really sinks the ship (I'm looking at you zoo kids! I'm looking at you!).

The lil animatronic beaver boy Bobby is beyond adorable and perhaps the best actor amongst the kids. The Big Guy and the Dr Eggman-esque villain are also a plus.

Definitely on a downward spiral season three is going to come out sometime later this year not terribly invested to catch the ending 7.26/10.
