Which is why Sweet Tooth, which has fantasy elements and was adapted from a comic book series, was so surprising when it turned out to be good. Sweet Tooth falls into the magical realism category in that its world building is primarily grounded in what we know, just with a bit of a twist. Sweet Tooth is set 10 years after a population-decimating pandemic. Sweet Tooth is well-paced, unfolding at brisk enough speed to keep you engaged, while giving character and story moments enough time to breathe. That almost impossible balance is a really hard spot to hit, but Sweet Tooth smashes it with the strength of Gus' heart.
