Love the small "what if" format to flex creative muscles without committing to a story or ending.
There are a few truly intriguing pieces and several I forgot 5 seconds after finishing.
The first half of Gdansk is a feature length movie I personally wish to see.
The live action "comedy" pieces are the least satisfying. It's all been seen before, and some leans politically into opinion pieces on a recent US president. Compared to the shirts around this, it seems a bit juvenile and absent creativity.
Maybe a combined hour to sit through. It won't leave you wanting more, but there are a few nuggets worth sitting through the grit to find.

All of these short films have amazing visuals, great directing and acting. Some of these story ideas are indeed likely to be similar to something you have already seen in other movies or series, but it still manages to take a new approach on a lot of these themes and subjects.
What people don't understand is that this isn't a series... These are experimental shortfilms independant from each other and that are meant (as often done in cinema, and as for example James Wan did with Saw) to gather feedback and eventually producers to make the most appreciated ones into full length movies. I can understand why people watching this on Netflix are angry about it, since they are expecting a show / series, and these informations should definitely be written in the description on Netflix in order to prevent confusing people who will not take the time to look up what this really is.
So yes, these aren't whole stories, but more glimpses, visuals and presentations of the different universes and characters that could be involved in these, if they were made in full length movies.
Now that you are advised, watch and enjoy or just pass on it if you don't care about this type of stuff and would rather watch a full length movie or series ;)

For being an independent studio the quality of CGI/animation is actually decent. It didn't make me cringe looking at it. The acting was good. It had a few famous people, but for the most part unknown actors. Some stories were moronic and tried to hard, others were solid story telling with inconclusive endings. All in all, this felt like a wannabe Black Mirror and Love, Death & Robots mash up.
First of all, almost all episodes are inconclusive, and that was the point, to raise funds to develop them, and that's ok. It has some good stuff in it, Firebase is really good, I wish I could see the ending of that. Same with Rakka. There are some good ideas. Zygote and Gdansk are interesting.
For me all the "funny" episodes failed completely, I guess that's not my kind of humor. AT ALL. It's too repetitive and sometimes naive/pointless. For instance, the cooking show, I saw the first two gizmos, and I think I skipped the last ones to the next episode, they were all too obvious and repetitive and not really funny, just parodying something won't make it automatically hilarious. Same with the president one, too far fetch (though extravagant presidents exist of course, like that crazy Thailand dude), Kapture and God, they made no sense and they were too obvious at the same time. And again, for me, they're not even funny to justify them.
There are some things that didn't make sense, like why are people in Kapture filming for VHS? I guess it's just for the "feeling" of a shaky cam/low quality video? Makes no sense when they're using drones, and mind control they don't have a decent camera? Also, if you want to make humor episodes, you need to hire a good comedy writer. There's a lot to learn from Love, Death & Robots about how to make comedy shorts.
Again, I don't want to be harsh, the "serious" chapters had something redeemable about them, but the funny ones are plain bad.

I can't really give it a solid good score because it's a lot of short vignettes (roughly 20min) that are the kernels of a potential full length film. So none of the stories have a definitive beginning or ending. But rather just a taste of what could be. The exceptions being the "infomercials". The sci-fi material is solid, however the comedy doesn't really work for me. Pretty much falls flat on its face if I'm honest. Getting back to the sci-fi though. There were a few intriguing concepts that, in my opinion, warrant some looking into. Like Rakka, Firebase, Zygote and perhaps Adam. If you're a movie enthusiast, this might be right up your alley.
