The series, which is adapted from a comic book series from the same name and has been co-produced by Robert Downey Jr, takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where babies are born part human, part animal.
As the official synopsis reads: "Unsure if hybrids are the cause or result of the virus, many humans fear and hunt them. After a decade of living safely in his secluded forest home, a sheltered hybrid deer-boy named Gus unexpectedly befriends a wandering loner named Jepperd.

However, other viewers had some criticism of the show. "This should either have been for kids or R-rated. But I guess it's somewhere in between which is frustrating. But I guess this is the first post-2020 show that can so closely be related to the pandemic, people wearing masks n all. #SweetTooth," someone wrote.
Another said the obvious parallels with the coronavirus pandemic made it less enjoyable, writing: "Really want to get into #SweetTooth but I also really DO NOT want to see another viral outbreak play out on screen, you know, cus we just lived through one."
