Netflix ‘Sweet Tooth’ Season 3 Review - The End Game

As the fans of Sweet Tooth know, this is the third and final season of this series which boasts a unique plot. The season started with how Captain Thacker went mad when he returned from the cave. It was his adventures because of which humanity had to pay a huge price that ultimately led to wiping out the entire human race.

The Sick came from the same cave and even the hybrids were a result of it. The new inhabitants of Earth are immune to the Sick and have special abilities. In all ways, the hybrids are better adapted to live on the planet. Just like how dinosaurs went extinct and then new species inhabited the planet, the same storyline has been followed.

Gus is out on an adventure to Alaska to find his mother. Nothing came easy as the journey was filled with group encounters with different types of people. There's a lookout for Gus as he's said to be the first hybrid and also the cure to save humanity. It's believed that his bones and blood have the cure, and again human babies can be born.

It was disheartening to watch how the mothers were ready to accept their hybrid newborns despite their husbands or other family members scrutinizing their existence. The season aces at showing what a mother can do for their children. Just like this, Gus goes to the ends of Earth to find his mother, but before he can approach her, she is taken away.

Netflix’s post-apocalyptic series focuses on the battle between the humans and the hybrids with Gus being the centre of it all. The season got lost in between and hovered around the plot by showing too many stories. The amount of characters introduced is insane, and it could've done better without it. The episode about Dr. Singh delivering a child and then the whole group running away was a waste of time as the essence it held should've been covered in a mere five minutes.

Big Man or Jepp has been a great support to Gus throughout the season and the final moments of the last episode will get the audience in shock. Many notable characters who drove the story are lost and those who didn't require much attention have been retained. The third season has an open ending and leaves the audience wondering whether Jepp survived or not.

Multiple things in Sweet Tooth season three don't make any sense, like Gus, Jepp, and Gus’s mother entering the cave after so many difficulties and then deciding not to do the job they risked their lives for. Also, when the final face-off was happening in the cave, Big Man came jumping whenever someone was about to be beaten up. It got funny at a point because it felt like he was sleeping and then woke up with insane energy equivalent to throwing off two to three people when Gus was attacked.

In all, the final season lost its path in hopes of giving a brilliant performance and ending. Also, as there are many new characters involved, those who haven't watched the previous seasons can enjoy the third as a standalone.

Final Score – [7/10]
