Every Love, Death & Robots Episode Ranked

18. Lucky 13

Love, Death, And Robots Lucky 13
Netflix

Anchored by a fantastic Samira Wiley performance, Lucky 13 is another instalment of the show's recurring military thrillers, this time concerned with a brave pilot and the connection she has with her spacecraft, which plays a vital role in an alien war.

Refreshingly simple and touching, Lucky 13 is one of Love, Death & Robots' more hopeful tales, and a bracingly thrilling one at that, with gorgeous battle sequences and electric narration from Wiley.

Some Love, Death & Robots fail because their premise is too thin, but Lucky 13 actually benefits from its lack of wider context -- it tells the story it needs to without straining itself too hard, and finishes before overstaying its welcome.
