  • When Tim Miller and David Fincher set out to create Love, Death & Robots,

  • Fincher says they just wanted to make something cool.

  • Mission accomplished.

  • (This) Netfilx's new anthology series is the epitome of cool,

  • an ambitious, dazzling, (bleep) up fever dream that hops between genres and animation styles

  • to deliver an all-you-can-eat buffet of weirdness,

  • from sentient yogurt, to ghost fish, to an alternate history that gleefully reimagines the many ways Hitler could have died.

  • The shorts have no unified theme or message.

  • Some are dark and nihilistic, others poetic and hopeful, while some are surreal or openly comedic.

  • But most importantly, with the use of everything from traditional 2D animation to photo-real capture, no two shorts look the same.

  • no two shorts look the same.

  • With Love, Death & Robots, Miller and Fincher were clearly eager to test the boundaries of the medium

  • and create something that could never be found in a mainstream multiplex or an network television.

  • With buckets of gore, copious nudity, both male and female, and elaborate violence, this is storytelling turned up to 11.

  • Love, Death & Robots has a broad scope by design.

  • It aspires to explore interesting stories through science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comedy, with almost every animation style known to man.

  • While there are some coincidentally recurring elements, most notably cats and boobs,

  • it would be interesting to see what a more cohesive, focused collection would look like.

  • Still, this is a smorgasbord of fascinating stories with extremely compelling visuals.

  • Love, Death & Robots is not immune to the issues that plague most anthologies.

  • Some stories are more repetitive or derivative than others, but many of the worlds are so fascinating,

  • they'll inevitably leave you wanting more, as all good short fiction does.

  • This is one visual acid trip that's worth taking, even if your mileage may vary.
