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.
