    I just can't put into words how amazing this is. Each episode is incredible. The animation types are extremely well made and with some episodeS you'll even wonder if you're not watching a movie with real life people acting in it. This is the best thing Netflix has put out in years.

    It is an incredible series that Netflix supported. Each episode is totally different from each one. Each animation is incredible, you pass from a cartoon to an almost reality animation. The stories are very good with a plot twist in each one that makes you watch another one.

    I liked the first episode the best with doubt. every story was unique and had some level of depth which is surprise considering every episode is 10 - 15 mins long.

Пожалуй, 8-ая 'Good Hunting' самая комплексная в плане истории и персонажей, и вот её бы Я хотел посмотреть в куда большем размере, чем она представлена. Но некоторые серии вообще не оставят в памяти никаких значимых пятен. А еще тут вообще не стесняются демонстрировать обнаженку, насилие - кровь, кишки, кости и вот все это.

    В целом, годный веб-сериал, которые можно довольно быстро глянуть и славить немного приятных и довольно ярких местами чувств, а потом забыть про него уже через 2 дня.    … Expand

    The third episode, for me, catapulted my view of the show significantly. It presented itself as animated crafts on top of a cyberpunk-seedy version of Hong Kong, where the journey of the main characters culminate in a philosophical statement -'the cycle of exploitation continues, involving anyone swept up in it'. It communicated this through effective action, simple desire and a careful balance of foretelling and revelation, while the art style gave my mind sufficient interest to parallel-process. The result was a very engaging experience that married emotional response and thought; I found it extremely well-done.    … Expand

    With some low points such as an episode that explores other ways that Hitler could have died, and some extreme highs, with the final episode 'The Secret War' being one of note. All in all, Love, Death and Robots is an intriguing, dark, funny, violent and altogether thoughtful experience, boxed up in one of the most stylish, bonkers and diverse packages you can find.

Love, Death & Robots is a majority of hits with some not quite hitting the mark; though what those shorts lacked they made up with in style. The animation style ranged from hyper realistic computer graphics to line and flat color animation. Each short has its own aesthetic charm, energy, and flow.

    The writing varies from episode to episode but all circulate around technology; cyberpunk and scifi enthusiasts will enjoy this series immensely. There is male and female nudity, the animators do not shy away from full frontal with both sexes. But when these scenes happen it is not pornographic in nature but are an essential to furthering the plot or character development; in short it happens for a reason. It is just excellent, adult, writing.

    Writing that will sometimes make you wish the shorts were full episodes. Some notable shorts that would make great full length series are the world of Sonnie's Edge, Zima Blue, and Three Robots, and Beyond the Aquila Rift. Overall, the series of shorts will satisfy and satiate those for a thirst of a direct injection of science fiction right into your noggin in a minimal amount of time.    … Expand

While Black Mirror episodes focus solely on delivering dark, philosophical messages and twist endings, these stories are much more about creating fun-to-watch, action-filled science fiction stories which may or may not have a deeper meaning.

    One of my favorites was Suits, an alien invasion story about future-farmers defending their town. The action's fast paced and the characters are immediately likable. I especially loved how each character's expression was animated. The last shot is a bit of a twist and proposes a different interpretation of the events of the story, but it doesn't hit you over the head with a message like Black Mirror might have done – it's a classic alien invasion story first and foremost.

    The worst of the bunch is probably Witness. The predictable ironic ending made me roll my eyes, but my biggest problem with the episode was main character. The whole episode consists of following the female character around a city, and yet we never get a sense of who she is. Instead, the camera constantly lingers on her breasts at the expense of actually showing her facial expression, and she ends up running around naked for the last half of the short. I had sooo many questions about this character (why doesn't she give her name to the police? why is the first person she calls a Russian junkie? why doesn't she let the killer explain himself?) that were never answered, because at the end of the day, she's not a real person, just a male fantasy.    … Expand

    Very feast-or-famine. The series suffers overall from too many of the shorts trying too hard to be "adult," jamming in sexual content that often feels obtrusive. A few episodes are also lacking in actual story. Episode 3, The Witness, is a particularly poor example, seemingly way more interested in CG nudity than creating a compelling film.

Episode 3, The Witness, is a particularly poor example, seemingly way more interested in CG nudity than creating a compelling film.

    But there are standouts in the other direction. Episode 8, Good Hunting, was my personal favorite. It's a very dark story that told a very adult tale that constantly asks the viewer to reassess what sort of story this is. Other notable standouts are the charming "Three Robots," the colorful "Suits," dreamlike "Fish Night," and imaginative "Secret War." "Blind Spot" also stands out for being such a perfect recreation of the '90s Saturday morning cartoon deep in the attitude era.

    Oh, and I couldn't finish "Helping Hand." The whole short is just body horror, and compares very unfavorably to "Beyond the Aquila Rift," which is body horror woven into a fascinating story.

    Overall, worth the watch, but some of the shorts are worth skipping.    … Expand

    Excellent! "Love, Death, and Robots' features a number of great NSFW animated shorts. "Three Robots", "When The Yogurt Took Over" and "Alternate Histories" are my absolute favorites. I'd like to see these made into full length movies or series of their own.

    There were a few that I didnt like as well but it's just because of the style of animation or the story didnt interest me as much.    Excellent!

    Similar in concept and execution to the Animatrix - the animated shorts that accompanied the Matrix films. Each episode in this collection has its own identity and style which is entirely wonderful. The stories are necessarily shallow - at only 15 minutes per episode there's no time to do otherwise - but these glimpsed worlds are still impressive.

    Sometimes the episode is full of reflective and hidden messages, other times you'll find a less clever story but a fest for the eyes.
    Sex and violence are present in most of the episodes...a little fan service maybe but never tasteless.
    The variety offered keep the show fresh and original.

      It's a decent series.
      Each episode has a new story + a new animation that makes it similar to Black Mirror. It's not as good, but it's pretty exciting.
      Some twists and stories seem that they were made by teenagers ... weak ... and a lot of nudity (do not forget, if you are with parents in the room don't watch it) but it was generally good-ish.

    This is an overrated animated made by Netflix. The stories used in this series are out of range and most of them are used before in some animations or movies. I think the new kind of animating in this package is a well done job and good to watch it but you will be disappointed after each episode!

L.D.R. is something fresh, new and got to my Netflix outta nowhere, but it's soooo freakin' amazing! Plus, very cyberpunk-ish, reminds me of Animatrix. Kind of. Instant +fav!

Сериал очень сильно перегибает палку с излишней толерантностью, кое-где доходит до откровенной, ничем не прикрытой, наглой мизандрии, что, как раз, напрямую противоречит той самой толерантности.

    In general, in a pack of seventeen episodes, everyone will find something for themselves. It is such a creation, entirely based on the iconic paintings of postmodernism, but with a great degree of passion, bright colors, and frank scenes. Some of the series still ask to become full-length paintings, and this is something like a short film project from Neil Blomcamp.

    80% of these have some stellar animation and half of the stories are incredibly well written and thought provoking but the other stories are meaningless and provide almost no substance at all other than being tech demos. If the animation wasn't so good across the board then this season would get a lower score.
