I've always been a fan of anthology shows, as they have the opportunity to showcase new and interesting ideas.
Love Death + Robots is such a series, as it is essentially a collection of unrelated animated sci-fi short films. It hosts a variety of interesting concepts, unique art styles, and a fair helping of gore. In the current era of restricted, often sanitized science fiction, this series is so refreshing in its creative freedom.
Unsurprisingly, the show's quality can be hit or miss. Some episodes are fairly generic, and offer little substance on the second watch. However, this is somewhat balanced by the great attention paid to the animation and stylization of each story.
This is a futuristic, sardonic box of chocolates that's got something for almost every kind of sci-fi nerd. Even if certain episodes fall short, they still manage to be thought provoking and entertaining. This series is definitely a Good.
