Delivering bleakness and black comedy in distilled form via stories that rarely last more than fifteen minutes, it’s like Black Mirror for the ADD-addled video game crowd. ... Love, Death & Robots is at its finest when it’s short, sweet and satirically nasty.
While every short is well-executed, bingeing them in quick succession dulls rather than sharpens their impact.

While many of the entries here fall into an inter-zone of “meh, OK then” mediocrity, there are a handful of highlights as well.
While there’s a lot to admire in the visuals ... the stories themselves are treated like an afterthought, and that colors everything an ugly shade of gray.
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.

6.5 score. When I watched Love, Death, and Robots I wasn't sure I liked it, but a week later I'm still thinking about these stories. A lot of people are comparing this show to Black Mirror, which feels off the mark to me. 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.
