Profane, profound, pornographic. "Love, Death & Robots" is an animated science fiction series of unrelated shorts, each ranging from about six to twelve minutes, sometimes edging upwards to the twenty minute mark. They are an assortment of Heavy Metal style candies, each with it's own style, flavour, and weight. The ones played for laughs, "Automated Customer Service" and "Three Robots," are truly hysterical - like laugh out loud funny; and brilliant. "The Drowned Giant" is profound and will leave you reflecting, as many of these short pieces do, on humanity's insignificance in the universe. Other play out like Twilight Zone mind-benders. There is some twisted stuff here and lots of this shit is not for kids. This is R rated adult fare and it's really a mixed bag. Some of the candies are tastier than others but they will all leave you wanting to put your hand back in the sweet jar to watch just one more. Catch these brilliant pieces of animation on Netflix.
