In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Sweet Tooth (Season
One) G
I did like the comic book series created by Jeff Lemire when
it came out, enough to collect all 40 issues that ended in 2013 (apparently a
new series was released in November of last year). When I saw the ads for this Netflix series, I
did want to watch it, but, at the same time, I wasn’t sure how yet another
apocalyptic TV series (or even a movie) would work. Since it’s been 8 years, I obviously don’t
remember most of what happened. There is
a bit of suspense throughout and I cared enough about some of the characters to
make me give this season a mild recommendation; it really wasn’t that bad
considering all the other post-apocalyptic material out there. In it, a virus (“the sick”) wipes out a good
deal of the population and those still alive must survive while trying to
protect themselves from other people (yes, people, not zombies or other
variations) in this new world gone to shit (dubbed “The Great Crumble”). Also, at the beginning of the virus, a bunch
of hybrid children were created (humans that are part animal). We follow one named Gus, who is part deer, as
he goes searching for his mother after his father succumbs to “the sick.” He comes across others on his journey,
particularly an ex-football player named Jep and a teenage girl that leads a
group of other teens whose mission is to protect hybrids. The story is obviously not over (aside from
being only 8 episodes ranging from 39 to 55-minutes) and I will return, but I
just hope they’ll know when to stop unlike another post-apocalyptic series
based on a comic book that airs on AMC.
At least this is only based on 40 issues (I’m not counting the new
series) as opposed to 193 though…6/8/2021
