The first season is awesome. The story was really good. It was deeply emotional, at the same time had good pacing. I was able to connect with the story and it felt mature and rich. From the music, to the narration, to cinematography, everything was awesome. It was just really well done. It justified the opening theme - a story about a very special boy who found himself at the end of the world. Highly recommended. Simply 10/10. In my mind, it was a must watch.

Fast forward to the second season, it is just glorified and dazzling trash. The dialogue feels like it's written by some school kid, and everything is just cleaned up as if it were a kids show. The plot feels disconnected from the main theme and everything just feels oversimplified directly targeting kids below 13 years old. The last episode of season 2 is a surprise. It's good. Made me remember how good season 1 was.

The story of sweet tooth is very special. The second season commits crimes against its source material at how bad it's adaptation is. Please read the original comics. Don't watch season 2. It's a shame Netflix let this gem go to waste.
