Currently streaming on Netflix. Rated TV-MA.

Love Death + Robots is an impressively made anthology series full of romance, violence, and robots (of course!). This series is hilarious and dark, with stories that range from yoghurt taking over the world to sexual assault survivor getting their revenge in the goriest way possible. Using various animation techniques throughout its 18 episodes, viewers are treated to a masterclass on the craft. There were times I would replay scenes just to admire the fantastic feats of animation. 

My only complaint about this series is that some writing tended to fall short. This seems to always be a potential issue with short-form writing of any kind, but especially screenwriting. It wasn’t so bad that I felt the need to finish watching the show, but bad enough to where I often found myself ignoring the story and focusing on the animation. I dearly hope that the second season features more well-rounded pieces. 

This is not really a show you watch with your mom, nor a show for the faint of heart. But if you’re a fan of science-fiction, fantasy, comedy and raunchy romance, there is something here for you.
