What happened in Sweet Tooth Season 1?
Season one of Sweet Tooth is set ten years after a pandemic known as the Sick has wiped out most of the world’s population. A man known as Pubba takes his deer-hybrid son, Gus, into the woods to live safely in seclusion. When Gus is 10 years old, Pubba contracts the virus and dies. Alone for the first time in his life, Gus is captured by poachers, known as Last Men, but saved by a former poacher named Tommy. Gus and Tommy meet the Animal Army, a group of teenage humans who dress as animals and have made it their mission to protect hybrids at all costs.
Gus befriends the army’s leader, Bear, who flees with them when the Animal Army attempts to execute Tommy for his past crimes as a poacher. Eventually, the group makes it to Birdie’s last known location, only to discover that she left ten years before searching for Gus. Gus discovers that Birdie is a geneticist working on a project that could either save or destroy the world. When the military took over her research base, Birdie and her romantic fling Pubba broke in to save her project, the genetically engineered baby Gus. Aimee sets out to save as many hybrid children as possible, and Dr. Singh is desperately searching for a cure for the Sick.
The villainous leader of the Last Men, General Abbott, captures the Singhs and forces the doctor to take extreme measures to discover a cure. Abbott and the Last Men attack the Preserve and capture the hybrid children, then force Singh to use them in his research. The Last Men then find Gus and capture him, after shooting Tommy and leaving him for dead. Aimee arrives to find and save Tommy, and the two plot to fight back against the Last Men to save their children. As the season comes to a close, Bear is contacted by a stranger over the radio, who turns out to be Birdie, who is alive and well and searching for Gus.
Sweet Tooth Season 2 Review
Beginning with Gus’ “mom” in Alaska, Birdie, and Big Man working together to free the hybrids from General Abbot, Season 2 of Sweet Tooth takes place. Gus, who is learning how to lead and how important he is in this new society, is still a delight to watch as played by Christian Convery. This season will remain interesting because of the strong cast. Although Sweet Tooth Season 2 tries to raise the stakes, it frequently misses the sweetness and affection that helped the program become so popular in the first place.
Although Tommy and Aimee working together is a nice change of pace, Bear’s narrative is the most pointless. In its attempts to raise the stakes, this season frequently sacrifices the show’s original charm and affection. It will take a long time to get there, but if Sweet Tooth does have another season, at the very least, everything is going to be in its proper position.
