Once again a new weekend, and once again a new series on Netflix: We’ll tell you if DC’s post-apocalyptic adventure “Sweet Tooth,” whose producer was Iron Actor Robert Downey Jr., was worth it.
Marvel star Robert Downey Jr. is making the DC series – a mix that works great with the headlines. But what is the use of the series? Are the eight episodes of ‘Sweet Tooth’ that Netflix released today worthy? We watched the first two episodes and also saw the sounds of the American press.
The short version is: Yes, “Sweet Tooth” is very good, and if the US critics had done it, it would be very good. at rotten tomatoes There are currently (as of June 4, 2021, 4pm) 24 reviews, all rated as positive, with an average rating of 8.45 out of 10. Ratings on Metacritic are similarly strong, with an average rating of 80 out of 100 currently calculated from seven reviews.
FILMSTARTS Editor Markus Trutt also had the opportunity to take a look at the series in advance. Although he can’t quite join the euphoric hymns of praise, he still admires the comic adaptation:
