I came across this series by chance and was instantly gripped by the great story line and powerful characters (Ophelia is my kind of woman). I'm not surprised that some parental guidance know-it-alls see the two main characters as bad role models: These young women are smart, off-beat, pro-active and not passive, funny, and definitely not victims.To quote Variety: "The main accomplishment of the promising show is that it never loses sight of the issues surrounding rape culture, violation, and consent. But it's not an "eat your vegetables" kind of program — it's essentially an enjoyable superhero saga."Until violence stops being perpetrated towards women, this series should definitely serve to empower those who watch it.It's great, and I REALLY hope that there will be many seasons to come.

Don't usually do reviews but put this on because of another reviewer who put one on after only seeing one episode, yes first episode wasn't fantastic but good enough for second episode to be watched yes its no Breaking Bad best ever TV series IMHO incidentally episode 2 an honorable mention to said series probably due to the fact the star of the show is Bryan Cranston's daughter (hope that doesn't count as a spoiler shouldn't do) anyway this series is dark, funny got enough action and does address issues of a serious nature, was looking for something till The Blacklist, Quarry, Stranger Things, Dark Matter, TMITHC, & GOT comes back and this & Shooter will definitely do for now!

MTV doesn't have the best track record for making good scripted television but Sweet/Vicious is very enjoyable and refreshing regarding the heavy topic matter. Sexual violence is an extremely serious issue and currently there is no show portrays what victims feel - rather only the legal aspects of the crime and maybe the psychology of the abuser. Sweet/Vicious brings a whole new dynamic to the topic and I personally enjoy that the show doesn't feel cold and matter-of-fact - you really understand the effects and most importantly, you actually want to root for the main characters, who are the campus vigilantes. The show does have it faults - the writing can sometimes be a little off and certain things can be set up better in terms of story development but I overall think the show is a fun time; it doesn't take itself too seriously - there are funny moments, dramatic moments, relatable characters and importantly, strong female characters that show their strength in various different ways. Sweet/Vicious is definitely something to look out for and possibly empowering to anyone who has ever been assaulted. Please don't dismiss this show in fear that it is only about misandry because that is far from the truth.

There is a spoiler or two. You are now warned.Sweet/Vicious is probably one of my favorite shows at the moment because it goes into a lot of details about sexual assault that most shows refuse too. Another thing that is great is the chemistry between the characters, you can really tell they care about each other. The only show that I personally have seen where they talk about the issues this show includes as much as it does is Law & Order: Special Victims Unit . While I do love SVU I feel like this is a better show for millennials (not to say only millennials should watch this show) because it is solely focusing on sexual assault on a college campus. People think most shows on MTV are silly party shows when in actuality their shows have been really showing things people should be seeing. I love this show, and think others should watch it, because it really is a funny show while still keeping the serious it needs too. Another great thing about the show is the LGBT themes in it with one of the main characters being Bisexual and it is not a big deal whatsoever.Thanks
