Love, Death and Robots is an eighteen part (mostly) animated series streaming on Netflix, brought to us by executive producers David Fincher and Deadpool director Tim Miller. With their long gestating collaboration on Heavy Metal seemingly having run aground, Love, Death and Robots is the logical extension of ideas that would undoubtedly feel right at home on the pages of the legendary science fiction and fantasy magazine.Love, Death and Robots is an anthology series with each self-contained episode showcasing both a brand new story and animation style. Although comparisons will be drawn, inevitably, to recent Netflix hit, Black Mirror, and obvious anthology heavyweights The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, it’s really only the surface level where Love, Death and Robots has anything in common. It does not feel obliged, as so many other genre anthologies are, to provide us with a twist. The shorts have, simply, a beginning, a middle and an end so if anything, Love, Death and Robots feels like it has more in common with literary anthologies than anything visual. Each episode is so distinct in its own right, as to liken it to a book of short stories. Which makes further sense when we realise sixteen of the episodes are indeed adapted from short fiction, with episodes based on tales from science fiction authors Alastair Reynolds, Peter F. Hamilton and Bubba Ho-Tep author Joe Lansdale.
