" Storm Warnings" is the tenth episode of the second season of the HBO original series The Wire. Sweet Tooth isn’t just a series that can be enjoyed by the whole family, it’s one that should be enjoyed by the whole family.10th episode of the 2nd season of The Wire " Storm Warnings" I still haven’t forgiven them for cancelling The Santa Clarita Diet on a cliff-hanger. And if we’ve learned anything about Netflix series, it’s to never get too attached. As of the time of this writing there is no confirmation of a third season, but I’m hopeful. While this season’s opening episodes feel decidedly weaker than the early episodes of season one, the connection I’ve formed with these characters remains unbroken. Sweet Tooth proves once again that it is a story worth telling. General Abbot is a perfect villain ranking among Shredder from #TMNT as a top-tier antagonist. Ambitious, heartfelt and enthralling, giving a unique take on the post-apocalyptic genre. #SweetToothSeason2 hit today and it's a MUST watch. While the first season was about finding family and forming bonds, this season is about testing those bonds and fighting for that family. There’s a looming aura of gloom and desperation brought on by the inner turmoil our “heroes” face and accentuated by rain-soaked landscapes and dimly-lit interiors. Abbot is on one polar end of the moral spectrum while Gus is on the other the majority of other characters are trying to balance somewhere in-between.ĭoctor Singh, for example, is driven to do horrible things by his love for his wife and his true desire to save man-kind, begging the question, “Do the ends justify the means if those means are murdering children, and the ends are saving the world?” This season of Sweet Tooth feels darker.

The Sick and the dismantling of the world as he knew it give him the perfect platform to act out the violent tendencies he likely suppressed in his prior way of life. On the surface, he’s driven by his desire to save the human race however, beneath that surface his lust for dominance and control are clear. From his looks and voice to his calculated coldness, he exudes a menacing presence that commands the screen.

Perhaps the most interesting characters of all are the villainous General Abbot and the conflicted Doctor Singh. And while Sweet Tooth is primarily a story of Gus, the series is at its strongest when its focus is on the human characters, rather than the hybrid ones. We follow them as they each continue their individual - yet intertwined - journeys. Our core trio of Gus, Jeppard and Bear have been splintered separated by a series of events that culminated in violence. We’ve seen stories like this before, but we’ve never seen them with half-animal, human hybrid children. Sweet Tooth benefits from its uniqueness. While super-hero fatigue is proving to be a legitimate concern for studios, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other comic book stories worth seeking out. In fact, I’ll be traveling to a screening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 later this evening. It’s a reality that we live in, even as the fabled “super-hero fatigue” begins to set in at the box-office.
