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.

My Review of Season 4 of Love, Death & Robots Love, Death & Robots began as a breath of fresh air in the genre of animated science fiction. Short but striking novellas with original plots, experimental animation, and provocative themes made the first three seasons a true event.

But what happened in Season 4?

Let me start with the only undeniable positive: the team of artists and animators remained, and the visual style is still top-notch. The studio signatures are recognizable, and the production quality remains high.

And that's where the praise ends.

From a storytelling perspective, the season fails on almost every level. The first and second episodes are uninspired voids, lacking any real idea or emotion. What follows is a series of weak attempts to recapture the show's trademark tone, but the stories are either drawn out or completely devoid of meaning. This isn't philosophical sci-fi anymore-it's self-parody and imitation of former glory.

It feels like the creators just needed to "check a box" and deliver a season. Instead of bold experimentation, we get safe, dull, and forced episodes.

In the end: a complete disappointment. I can only recommend watching the first three seasons-that's where Love, Death & Robots is still alive.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Episodes that take this series to a good rating for their quality:

Zima Blue - S1 Beyond the Aquila Rift - S1 Sonnie's Edge - S1 The Secret War - S1 The Witness - S1 Helping Hand - S1 Swarm - S3 Jibaro - S3 In Vaulted Halls Entombed - S3 Bad Travelling - S3.

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

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.

The top brass of this show KNOW exactly what they did. They delivered nonsense. They looked at it, they packaged it, and then looked again and said F it!

Where's your dignity? Ddi you sell out for a quick paycheck?

What made this series so great despite the amazing Sci-Fi infused story-lines, was the story-lines themselves. Season 4 was devoid of what gave this series its glory.

Save for one episode, "Spider Rose" was the only episode that will remind you why you fell in love with LDR, and the rest why you decided to break up.

Earning reputation is not an easy feat.

Losing it makes it 100 times harder.

So sad :( Tim Miller - How could you?

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 !!!

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.

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

Bless you, Netflix, for giving us this.

Bless you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
