Sweet Tooth ends up resembling a fairy tale of sorts, with lush visuals and colors that pop, despite all the death and destruction on the edges. It’s a delicate tightrope act Convery has to pull, yet he never falters as the heart and soul of this story. Gus is a character that has to be just irritating enough at times so that we understand why Jepperd would want to get rid of him, but also delightful enough for us to want to follow his massive adventure. So much of Sweet Tooth relies on the performance of Convery, but the young actor is immediately likable, as we see this new world through his eyes of wonder and questioning. Explain His Netflix Comics Adaptation 'Sweet Tooth' in New Featurette Some stories start at the beginning, but Gus’ story starts here. Gus’ father tells him he should never leave the boundaries of the fence, yet as these stories always go, events transpire that send Gus on his own adventure. While hybrids are hunted in this new world, Gus has lived far away from the destroyed human race, living in the fenced-in Yellowstone National Park with his father (a wonderful Will Forte). After “The Great Crumble” hit the world, the only children born were these hybrids, which left many to blame the destruction on these children. Sweet Tooth follows the aforementioned human/deer hybrid Gus, played by an endearing and enthusiastic Christian Convery. Instead of focusing on the doom of Sweet Tooth’s setting, Mickle creates an optimistic take on a story we’ve seen countless times before. Mickle’s take on this tale shows the beauty of what can grow out of loss, frequently presenting characters receiving new opportunities that grow out of the pain and suffering they have encountered.
Several times throughout Sweet Tooth’s lovely first season, the narration by James Brolin states that “some stories start at the beginning,” but for our characters, their “story starts here,” when they’re asked to take on some large, daunting task. Yet the Netflix adaptation of Sweet Tooth developed by Jim Mickle ( Cold in July, Hap and Leonard) latches onto that rare glimmer of hope that permeated Lemire’s gloom.
