Based on a comic book about a pandemic-fueled apocalypse, the new Netflix series is actually full of big-hearted whimsy. Thank the remote-controlled ears.

There s more to Sweet Tooth than you might first realize.
Netflix s new fantasy series, based on the DC comics by Jeff Lemire and produced by Susan Downey and Robert Downey Jr., appears as a bit odd, a bit juvenile and even a bit silly. Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a deadly virus and a phenomenon in which babies are born as animal/human hybrids, the show at first glance gives off a cutesy and kiddie vibe. After all, the characters refer to the onset of the virus as The Great Crumble.
