Love, Death & Robots

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
