The Second Season...

[jwdb-11864 · 7/10 · 15 May 2021]

Making this review to compare the first season to the second. The first season is almost perfection. Most of its individual episodes have great stories and meaning behind them, they have originality. Even the worst episodes in season one are watchable and have some level of entertainment. The first season has lots of re-watchability to it. But then they released the second season. It's got plenty of episodes with cool concepts but they drag on. I, and many other people, felt let-down by the subsequent season. So far it only has eight episodes, and those eight episodes feel like they were episodes cut from the first season. It isn't horrible, but once you see it all, you don't want to watch it again. Its worst episodes are unbearable and its best are inferior compared to the first season. It contains episodes where the characters make dumb decisions, and its got plenty of episodes that are hard to understand.

With all of that said, I'm giving it a 7/10 because the first season is so good. 9/10 for the first season and 5/10 for the second.

The Peak of Animation!

[ahmetkozan · 9/10 · 1 June 2019]

We are faced with an incredibly creative anthology of 18 different stories ranging from an immense variety of animation designs, cinematography, music-sound use, and transhumanism to cyber punk, from robotics to artificial intelligence, from the life of others to anti-militarism: Love, Death & Robots.

It was obvious from the trailer that we would be watching interesting things, but I didn't expect that much. The taste of each episode remained in my palate. Death, Love & Robots show the end point of the animation. Cyberpunk, love, death, technology, apocalyptic, a variety of topics such as space is told. So each viewer can find something in the series. There were criticisms of sexism and violence, but I didn't encounter such a problem. Episode lengths range from six to seventeen minutes. Although it is a little short, you can understand the quality when you watch. 9/10

Unexpectedly good!

[ankitb-civilengg · 9/10 · 15 March 2019]

Never saw the trailer. Just saw it while browsing netflix, didn't knew what to expect. But the first episode just blew my mind. So awesome. It was like watching watching a video game. The episodes are small but so good. No nonsense. Superb !!!

Just wow.

[lanycera · 10/10 · 15 March 2019]

What a unique production! Netflix definitely got something (very) right here. In fact, I wish there would be more quality content like this.

Every single episode is intriguing and spectacular; it can be very violent at times, funny and sad. The art is just breathtaking. Writing is on point.

So far I liked "Sonnie's Edge", "The Witness" and "Beyond the Aquila Rift, "Good Hunting" and "Zima Blue" the best. More, please, Netflix!

Netflix just changed the game... again.

[grantit4 · 10/10 · 15 March 2019]

Sublimely animated (NSFW) shorts... each with it's own unique and beautiful (& mature) story. Think game cinematic-Animatrix saga with hyper-realistic futurism/multi-dimensional concepts. Absolutely GORGEOUS. I enjoyed each immensely, and cannot wait to see more, hopefully becoming a mainstream format.

Not a minute feels wasted watching this amazing anthology series

[javierrickard · 10/10 · 15 March 2019]

Honestly it just appeared on Netflix so I thought why not give it a try? and I am so happy I did. Every episode is so beautifully animated and the stories keep you interested from beginning to end! The most impressive and immersive thing Netflix has done in a little while, you aren't wasting you're time. believe me.

Incredible

[DennisTarr · 10/10 · 16 March 2019]

I seriously hope Netflix produces more shows of this quality. Great animation quality together with themes and stories for adults are pretty much non existent. Until now. This is really worth getting a subscription for. At lest for me it was.

What happened??

[jpcjcpd · 20 May 2021]

Season one was incredible. A little something for anyone. Great variety and vision in small samples. Like short stories. It was 18 episodes!

Season two. Even shorter episodes. Only a few of interest and only 8 episodes with some as shot as 7 minutes.

You can always count on Netflix for a bait and switch. Waited over a year for less than an hour of content.

Gorgeous film making

[DarrenSCook · 10/10 · 15 March 2019]

Watched the complete series in one go!!! Could not stop watching!

A true classic!

[BlockLike · 10/10 · 15 March 2019]

I am in awe of how truly great this is.

On every level it impresses...

Visuals, audio, script, acting, dialogue, atmosphere... It's got them all in spades!

Just sit back and let the episodes draw you into their worlds.

It is a work of art and should be celebrated.

1st season was better

[educrkp · 7/10 · 16 May 2021]

I feel like some of the episodes in season 2 were a little too short, and there were less than half as many episodes as season 1, so all in all season 2 was a little disappointing. It's not bad; season 1 just set the bar too high.

The animation is absolutely gorgeous, though.

It's a masterpiece

[hirazvan · 10/10 · 15 March 2019]

Once you start watching, you can't stop until it's over

Season 1: amazing. Season 2: what happened??

[fagzal · 7/10 · 19 May 2021]

I really liked season 1 of the series: a new kind of format, amazing graphics, sometimes thought provoking and serious, even dark, sometimes just simply funny. Diverse themes and animation styles. It was kind of like Black Mirror, but animated. Or like reading a collections sci-fi short stories.

But season 2... I was looking forward to it so much, and it let me down. The animations are as good as in season 1, and there is one or two episodes that are kind of OK, but otherwise they have forgotten *the* most important thing that made season 1 so good: the stories. I don't know what they were thinking, but they are very basic in season 2, sometimes do not even make sense. The punch lines are basically missing, or very weak.

Season 1 = 10 starts. Season 2 = 3 stars.

If the writing is bad, it's just a tech demo

[Zamboni_HeeHaw082 · 2/10 · 9 June 2022]

I don't care how good your animation is. I don't care how good your texture mapping is, or your pre rendered lighting, or your production design. Unless any of it supports a well written story, it's a glorified tech demo.

And that's all this show is. It's a bunch of short "films" mimicking things the "filmmakers" have seen before without any concrete understanding of why it worked in the first place.

The shorts are made by visual effects artists, not writers. The focus and effort was clearly on the animation WOW factor, and less delivering quality content, that people are paying for.

I think the episode that finally broke the camels back for me was the episode in season 2 when the giant washes up on the beach:

It looked gorgeous; the concept was completely original. THEN they have a TERRIBLE voice actor recite TERRIBLE, cliched, pretentious lines of dialogue that add NOTHING. Everything the narrator says can be SEEN on screen. Has this episode been dialogue-less, it would have been near perfect. But these films weren't made by story tellers, they were made by 3D effects artists. So none of them heard of the lesson they teach YEAR ONE in film school: show, don't tell. And on top of that, the dialogue is the most nonsensical lofty noise I have ever heard; a pretentious British voice actor reciting lines he doesn't understand, but they threw in a bunch of "smart" words, so that means the writing is intelligent, right?

Really embarrassing. 2/10 because the animation is very good in all episodes, but none of the episodes themselves are good because the writing is poorer than poor. And I'm reviewing this as a SHOW, not a tech demo. Which is clearly is.

2/10.

Love, Death & Robots

[0U · 19 March 2020]

This show is a masterpiece. Every episode feels like a complete movie. I was surprised that I was able to care for the characters after such a short time. Most shows take 2 or 3 hours to be able to establish that kind of a rapport. The pacing is great, the topics explored are interesting and some of the plot twists are amazing. One of the episodes managed to flip my understanding of all the events completely on its head just in the last few seconds when the truth was finally revealed.

Black Mirror animation

[jack_o_hasanov_imdb · 9/10 · 9 August 2021]

Black Mirror animation.

At least as successful as "Black Mirror", interesting and very beautiful series. I started on the advice of a friend and I loved it, and you will too.

The animation is pure orgasm.

[NoMercyBerserker · 10/10 · 15 March 2019]

Spectacular audio and animation violent,sad,funny good stories.Netflix did a good job,did something that most people do not expept to see.I want more content like that please Netflix.

Animation at its best

[searchanddestroy-1 · 9/10 · 11 November 2021]

I am not a fan at all of animation stuff, nor modern scifi and fantasy too. But this series which was advised by a friend amazes me, because it is so gloomy, dark, disturbing, maybe too complex though, that I am addicted to it. Unfortunately, most of those stories could not be adapted for the big screen in classic regular movies. Too shocking for most audiences. I highly recommand it to anyone seeking something different. Don't expect happy endings here, no do not, you would be deceived. Or maybe once in a while.

Terrible second season. God damn it.

[kennethokpe · 10/10 · 14 May 2021]

Fantastic frist season, good stories. Was really looking forward to season 2, but four episodes in , its looking very disapointing.

Better than season 2

[juriselerts · 9/10 · 21 May 2022]

Third season in my opinion is much better, story and enternteinment wise, than second season. But none can compare to the first one, obviously.

One review mentions this season being dark and dreary... well dooh, it's in the name "Love, DEATH + Robots". After season 1, I expect this show to be dark(Death) with some hope(Love) sprinkled in and taking a background and sometimes just for fun Robots added.

Only disappointment that it's just 9 episodes.

Season 3 contains incredible content

[merpman-94402 · 9/10 · 21 May 2022]

Season 1 was very good, with 2 really top quality stories.

Season 2 was a somewhat a disappointment.

Season 3 was totally WOW with an oscar worthy animated story at the end, as well as 2 other top quality episodes. Just 1 episode was average.

S2 was an absolute letdown

[Eb3ast · 7/10 · 14 May 2021]

Season 1, a mind blowing masterpiece with plenty of episodes to indulge. Season 2, a disgrace to season 1. Not only is it incredibly short after a 2 year wait, but the writing is just sloppy. Season 1 had a lot of episodes that made you think "wow, how does someone come up with this" while season 2 as a whole seems like something you could scrap together with a couple friends over a weekend.

I pray this is a lesson to the people who decided to switch up this season, and that if they do get another chance with a third that they redeem themselves. There are great writers and artists out there who are forced to have limited creativity. LET THEM MAKE SOMETHING FREELY.

Season 1 amazing...but season 2...

[greyes822 · 8/10 · 15 May 2021]

Season 1 was an absolutely masterpiece but wtf was season 2?! It felt like teasers with no plots but with a vine time limit of 7 seconds... disappointing asf.

What a missed opportunity

[maximenkos · 6/10 · 24 May 2021]

Although I'd still say that this season is worth watching, I have to also say that it is most definitely nowhere near as good as season 1.

First of all, stories of S2 are best described as "meah". Aside from the e3 and e4 (that were somewhat interesting and\or thought-provoking) and e6 that made me chuckle a bit, the rest are completely forgettable.

Second, this season seams to be positively muted in terms of sheer madness and creative scope of the first one. Why this is would be anybody's guess, but my sense is that the network decided to play it safe instead of embracing the sometimes-provocative insanity of the first season.

Finally, this season contains less than half the number of episodes of the first one, why??? I get not being able to film real actors during the time of the pandemic, but what was stopping a bunch of IT and CGI pros from creating a bunch of episodes while sitting comfortably in front of their computer screens at home...truly beyond me.

So here we are, still enjoyable to watch, but doesn't even begin to hold a candle to the first season. What a shame, such a missed opportunity.

Season 2 is NOT GOOD

[jennyys · 2/10 · 19 May 2021]

Sorry, but season two is pants compared to the first season.

The stories are not as good, the endings fall flat, the constant smoking is just weird.

The animation? It ranges from being incredible to being just a bit 'meh'.

I watched it waiting for the two or three killer episodes that were going to save the season. They never came, the season ended and that was that.
