Love, Death and Robots

Watched on Netflix March 23 and March 24 2019

The title does tell the tale, lots of blood, lots of sex with interesting AI story themes that frame 18 stories. I "semi-binged" (in 2 binges) this series due to the high energy of each episode. Intense, beautiful and graphic does not even begin to describe this anthology series. While I appreciate the freedom to binge and zero cost (as long as one has a Netflix subscription), seeing this on an IMAX screen with superior audio would have been amazing. Agree that Ep3 - The Witness was somewhat fetishistic, but its conclusion almost (but not quite) redeemed itself. I enjoyed most of the stories, but as an anthology it is not necessary to like, or even watch, each episode in its entirety to appreciate the art and talent of this series. I would like it to continue to multiple seasons, assuming the creative talent, diversity and imagination is intact.


 Brief Synopsis:  personal impressions regarding each episode:

1) Sonnie's Edge - Sonnie is a futuristic MMA fighter with a very high success rate
2) Three Robots -- very funny, although the humor is obvious the jokes land successfully
3) The Witness --- kind of fetishes women -while animation is interesting, even ending not sufficient
4) Suits -- male and female farmers using mechs to defend land and family from Alien invasion
5) Sucker of Souls -- funny, but ending just dropped off
6) When the Yogurt Took Over -- satirical with some jabs at our reality
7) Beyond the Aquila Rift - I kept screaming a line from a Jordan Peele movie at my screen
8) Good Hunting - a "special woman" goes from victim to savior
9) The Dump - ironic humor -- kind of grindhouse variety
10) Shape-Shifters - good themes and even though animated, great acting
11) Helping Hand - a woman astronaut makes a critical and heroic choice
12) Fish Night - odd, interesting, but kind of fails at its conclusion
13) Lucky 13 - a ship that no one would fly, was flown successfully by a (woman) pilot
14) Zima Blue - beautiful both the visuals and the dialogue
15) Blind Spot - retro, funny right thru its conclusion
16) Ice Age - quirky and a little sad
17) Alternate Histories - just plain weird
18) The Secret War - interesting take on the Russian military
