Love, Death & Robots

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.

Bless you, Netflix, for giving us this.

Bless 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 !!!

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.

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.
