Opinion | Sam Thielman: Netflix's 'Sweet Tooth' is a daring but warm look at the ugly surprises of a post-pandemic world. - NBCNewsTHINK
June 4, 2021, 5:43 PM UTCAt the risk of stating the obvious, stories of the post-apocalypse tend to be depressing. Kids, though, are immune to the soporific effects of nostalgia; they’re going to be nostalgic only for the world as it is now or maybe as it was a minute ago, whether or not grownups think it’s horrible and remember better times. Their needs are immediate and mostly physical.
Gus, by the way, is looking for his mom; the first few times he sees a grown woman, no matter how she reacts toward him, he asks if she knows her, as though all moms are in a big mom's club. Series creator Jim Mickle has crafted a warm and colorful melodrama about a strange little boy and his ad hoc family living after the end of civilization.
