The story presents us with a post-apocalyptic world,
which begins after people began to get sick and die in a mysterious way, while
pregnant women had hybrid children. Yes, no one understood the reasons for
these events, over time it became certain that this new species was immune to
the disease. On the other hand, if a human contracted it, he would die shortly
after.

eliminate each of these species, blaming them for being the origin of the
virus, while others only want to experiment with them, in search of a cure that
saves humanity, or at least what's left of it.
Thus begins the story of Gus, a half-human, half-deer boy
who lives hidden from the dangers of the world in the middle of a forest with
his father. In this way, the new Netflix series deals with a dark adventure of
a group of people who will search for answers in a world invaded by chaos.
Comments
I'll be honest my friends, I had never heard of this story, it was thanks to the trailer they released a few weeks ago that I discovered this comic by artist Jeff Lemire. The world has been hit by a deadly virus that eliminated thousands of humans; at the same time, half-human, half-animal hybrid babies began to appear.
Gus is a half-human half-deer hybrid boy who will be forced to face a world where hybrids are threatened by the world's deadliest plague: humans. what makes Sweet Tooth unique in its kind, is the way in which the story is told, as it is narrated by an omnipresent narrator who will accompany us from beginning to end and there is more than one "twist" that will leave us with the square eye.
The visual aspect is what stands out the most; Gus's hybrid details, his antlers and deer ears, look wonderful and quite real. Unlike the original work, which is much darker, the world of Sweet Tooth is full of color and is shown from the make-up of the hybrids to the general world in which the story takes place.
The performances are just as good, the young actor who plays Gus, Christian Convery, does a phenomenal job as do actors Nonso Anozie and Stefania LaVie Owen. So far Sweet Tooth has caught me without a doubt and it's good to get away from the superhero series and movies, thanks to the series it made me want to read the original material.
I see a lot of potential for the series, I hope that the second season does not drop in quality and that it has more points in favor than against, I recommend it without a doubt.
