Netflix's Love, Death & Robots: All 18 Episodes, Ranked Worst To Best

18. Alternate History

Want to see Hitler die in a variety of comically fantastic ways? Now you can. Welcome to Multiversity!

Alternate Histories is the only episode that just plainly doesn’t work. Going back in time to kill Adolf Hitler is a tired gag that has to run its course (regardless of how great it would be). The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy-esque form of narration was a fun way to elucidate but didn’t make up for the lack of humour or wit.

Randomness is an art-form and can be done to elevate comedy toward a high quality (as we will explore in one of the later episodes), but Alternate Histories does it the exact wrong way. It doesn’t make a joke from the randomness, it thinks the random references is the joke.

Needless nudity and the lack of humour make this episode the sole swing-and-a-miss in the series. Some may find this one amusing, but it’s not on par with what the rest of the series offers.
