10 TV Shows That Worked Despite Their Absurd Premise

This is the third entry on this list that sits in the middle of the animated series/Netflix original Venn diagram, and in spite of the previous two being about a talking bipedal horse with addiction issues and the monster that makes adolescents want to masturbate, this is easily the weirdest.

Love, Death and Robots is, like Black Mirror, an anthology series detailing a different story in a different world with each episode, with a different cast, crew, and animation style. The key theme running through, of course, is that each episode is based around one or more of the titular aspects.

Here we're talking about a series in which the story of a woman trapped in space freezing her arm and excruciatingly snapping it off to make her way back to her ship was one of the most grounded stories there was.
