Television LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS (Season 4 Premieres May 15, 2025)

[Loiosh]

No it doesn’t. I’ve watched all but 2 now so far.


The concept is interesting, but the execution and stories are very average in most cases. And the couple of decent ones make it feel like you were flipping thru channels and came across the last 10-15 minutes of a decent flick due to the short story aspect, and that’s unsatisfying.

Well, the show is receiving critical acclaim and it seems to be a huge hit here.

Everyone I know who has seen it has loved it.

Personally, I'm incredibly impressed with how well they told such inspired stories in such a short format.

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

Humanity has experienced enormous leaps in technology. It might be moving incredibly fast right now, but are the leaps as huge? The light bulb changed the world. Flight brought immediate transport to anywhere. The internet brought instant cheap communcation and idea exchange across the planet.

Culture has always been transient in the west. It has always managed to transition into something almost incomprensible within a generation. Does it seem like it's changing that much more now, or are you getting older and feeling left behind?

I'm fifty. I have no idea what young people are doing these days, they seem like a different species.

I think that's one possibility - that we're built to withstand and survive whatever type of environment we find ourselves in, and will make that happen so long as the material means are available.

The alternative, which I find more likely, is that the adaptations we've endured (successfully?) so far have yet to get us to the breaking point, at which we'll either lose it or become something entirely new. The tech advancements that are pushing us to incomprehensible complexity are going to rock the very concepts that allowed us to survive through what we've experienced so far.

On the dark timeline, something resembling a human may survive materially. But it will live like that a rat in a maze in terms of chasing stimuli it has no way of integrating with at a fundamental level ("you're not ready").

Zima Blue was really cool. A lot these had an, “Oh shit!” moment which I really like.

Blue Zima was damn cool, agreed.

 

[scrubadiver]

Afaik they had pretty lax budgetary and creative limitations and it's animation too (so you can take it anywhere you want)... and this is the best they got? So very lame and tame, most of them played out like vidiya game scripts, not the good kind either.

Comrades, werewolves and 3 robots were entertaining enough. Murder loop was an interesting concept, but that's about it. 4 out 18 is a pretty meh result, but I hope they produce more and get funkier with it.

 

[3DayFunk]

The farm one reminded me of Starcraft and the vampire one was pretty dope, gonna finish the rest tonight.

 

[3DayFunk]

started watching first episode and immediatly with "men are bad" angle

doesnt mean show is terrible,its more on netflix

Imagine being such a pansy so get offended by a female character having a gritty backstory.

Sentient dairy products, werewolf soldiers, robots gone wild, garbage monsters, cyborg bounty hunters, alien spiders and blood-thirsty demons from hell - all converge in eighteen NSFW animated stories. Presented by Tim Miller & David Fincher. Love Death + Robots lands on Netflix March 15th.

You had me at NSFW.

 

[jojoRed]

Some of these animation and art styles are so damn unique. I love the show so far (watched only 7) with Three Robots, The Witness (fantastic art), and the one set in space with the photorealistic CGI.

Its astonshing how good the CGI was for the last one, so damn realistic, but also had a distinct art style.

Imagine being such a pansy so get offended by a female character having a gritty backstory.

Imagine it being noticable because netflix does it in many of its own shows

Btw shows good

 

[jojoRed]

Sometimes these world I want to fully explre in a full fledged series.

Shapeshifters seems like an interesting enough to warrant a series imo.

Only watched up to there though.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I’ve watched the first four and I can say I’m loving them so far. The farm one definitely felt like what I’d want out of s Starcraft movie or show. I thought the premise to the Witness was really cool, like something out of the Twilight Zone. The 3 robots was funny and the underground beast fighting one was really visceral.

 

[shunyata]

Secret War was very Witcher esque.

I could totally go for a new Witcher game set in ww2 Siberia.

I felt the same way. I really wanted more from most of these. Which is a positive. I do love how they just threw you in with no backstory. I guess we got the full story in Zima Blue, but I really enjoyed just being tossed into the middle of a universe.

 

[jojoRed]

I think Aquila Rift is the standout. In terms of the technical aspects (just looked so goddamn amazing in terms of the CG), and in terms of the plot.

Other great ones are Zima Blue (art is so damn amazing), The witness (best art direction to me, and outstanding animation), three robots (just all round fun), Fish Night (Just so goddamn beautiful, reminds me of the Telltale games, but its just damn beautiful), shape shifter (the CGI was great, but I also liked the world, the dynamic of the werewolves etc)

Some would be great mini series imo. But most are clearly half baked short ideas.

Overall 8/10, I love the risk taken on this show, because youre not gonna see this anywhere else, they should be rewarded. Its like Black Mirror on steroids, and done by someone who just cant concentrate on one thing.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Almost finished with the first season, only 4 episodes to go. Loving it so far. No bad episodes in the bunch, lowest is probably still a decent watch. Some of the episodes are so good that I want to see a continuation and further explore that world.

Finished them all. Only thought 3 of them were good. I dug the Russian WWII style one, Sonies Edge, and I’m blanking on the 3rd.. the rest were meh and some were straight up hot garbage (the Dracula one had no fucking business here).


I dig the idea behind some of them, and I liked seeing what really top notch animation is up to these days.. but the writing and stories were really average for my tastes. Nothing was really very captivating, and the ones I liked couldn’t completely rope me in because they’re just shorts to begin with and I didn’t feel they used their time wisely in terms of caring about what was going to happen outside of the ‘cool animation’ factor. Everything was predictable.


In terms of short stories in a show format I found ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’ to be far superior to this series in terms of writing and telling a story in a very short clip.
