The main objective of this research is to analyze the Netflix (2021) TV series Sweet Tooth through the lens of eco-criticism by applying the theory of Morton of dark ecology and Rob Nixon's idea of slow violence. The study is qualitative in nature and utilizes content analysis. The analysis lay stress on the themes of human-nature relationships, environmental degradation, and the role of technology in shaping the environment. The analysis reveals that "Sweet Tooth" effectively illustrates dark ecology by depicting a world where the boundaries between human and non-human are blurred, creating a sense of environmental eeriness. The article contributes to the emerging field of ecocritical studies by contributing a deeper understanding of the ecological themes presented in Sweet Tooth and for our understanding of human-nature relationships. Future research should explore the reception of Sweet Tooth among diverse audiences to gauge its impact on eco-critical awareness.
