Now, I know what you might be thinking, "How can a story about a world-ending event not be harrowing?" Well, yes and no. There are a number of films in the zombie apocalypse sub-genre that take a lighter and more comedic approach, for example, Shaun of the Dead, Anna and the Apocalypse, and Zombieland. Sweet Home (2020), however, feels like a beautiful character study that the arrival of nightmare-fueled looking monsters interrupted. Interestingly enough, it’s those monsters that bring out the best, the worst, or both in the people living in Green Home Apartments. Although there are some moments of levity sprinkled here and there, this series deals with very heavy and emotional topics in an unflinching manner. Bullying, self-harm, death, grief, depression, and anxiety are just some of the themes explored throughout the ten episodes as we, the audience, figures out what is going on at the same time the characters do.
