Review of Sweet Tooth (Season 2)

 

A hypothetical scenario, wherein hybrids evolve sans any global pandemic. Would individuals/antagonists alike Abbot then make peace with hybrids? Nope, as henceforth, the fight would be materialized between different species as who should rule over whom!

Indeed, it wasn’t about finding the cure or sustainability of human growth, as, on the one hand, there was:

Abbot unveiling his quest is more about winning + Dr. Singh’s dilemma of finding cure even via killing hybrids and he choosing to do the same + Birdie & Fort Smith lab’s complicity of hiding the truth about initial origin of the virus (just alike the Covid pandemic) + Mrs. Zhang’s quest to live on Evergreen, post finding the cure along with her very big family; and;

On the other hand, the quest of Hybrid Kids or Animal Army or Rani or Aimee or Johnny, wasn’t about winning but merely of Survival, with or without the cure. This summarizes the whole story of Sweet Tooth.

And when Survival > Evolving; the societal fabric falls like deck of cards.

But what other common humans would’ve chosen had they been given a chance to opt between: cure vs life of hybrids? And until next season, let’s presume, there’s a cure been found in Alaska, without killing hybrids; then would common humans accept hybrids to co-exist as co-species? And if yes, then how many would agree on such a proposition? Probability is again negligible, as Abbot’s technically was correct in stating that it’s about winning more for individual families, than with a common minimum agenda (which is a politically incorrect truth).

All said & done, Season 2 was a good watch & engaging.
