Love, Death & Robots

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.

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.

Season 1 was great, Season 2 meh, Season 3 had again some excelent episodes but Season 4 is literaly an insult to what LD&R have been previously. Some episodes of the previous seasons make you immerse in a very rich conceptual storytelling loaded with plot, suspense and even psychological horror moments.

What they did with Season 4 it's a crime, completely shallow episodes filled with stories with nothing to tell, pretending to overelaborate something that doesn't shine by itself.

So sad to see this series in the actual state.

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

I don't like writing reviews, but is one of my most anticipated series. Alas, the creative enthusiasm clearly ran out in the fourth season: the plot became strained, the characters lost depth, and the final episodes look like a formality. The energy that previously charged each scene is gone, giving way to dull predictability. It's sad to see how the characters have become very bland. Surprisingly, even the side project Secret Level looks livelier and fresher. There are no complaints about the first three seasons - they were really strong. And here the authors decided to end on a sad note. Bye-bye.
