Sweet Tooth S01-02

When we picked up this show we didn't expect it to be a post-apoc show, but post-covid it hit really hard and just drove home the point that covid could have been so much worse.

The show is a story about Gus, who's a human-animal hybrid. At around the same time that the virus started, human-animal hybrid babies were the only babies being born. Nobody knows why or how, only that suddenly no more human babies were born, only hybrids. 

The virus subsequently wipes out around 80% of the human population worldwide. 

Fast-forward 10 years and we have Gus leaving the confines of his home to explore the world and trying to find his mother. The US no longer exists and what's left is broken up into tribes. The militaristic Last Men are desperately looking for a cure for the virus, which is still around, while also trying to round up and wipe out any and all hybrids in an attempt to save humanity. 

On the other side we have Aimee who takes in every hybrid child she can find and raises them in an old zoo (ironic) until the Last Men move in. 

 

The second season is a prolonged battle on several fronts. We have the kids trying to break out. We have Aimee trying to break in to free them. We have Dr Singh fighting himself while trying to save his wife and subtly oppose General Abbott, and we have General Abbott fighting for control and trying to emerge as the leader of all of the tribes, not just the Last Men.

Through the course of the second season a lot is revealed about the origin of the virus and the hybrids and a lot is resolved in the end, but not everything.

Bobby is best boi.

The third season will also be the last and it promises to be very interesting.
