Every Love, Death & Robots Episode Ranked

29. Life Hutch

The Very Pulse of the Machine
Netflix

Life Hutch, in spite of its thin story, is bolstered by a tense performance from Michael B. Jordan, and its truly stunning photo-realistic animation, which remains some of the anthology's best.

Visuals and star power aside, though, the episode's claustrophobic setting and its small scale man-versus-machine premise never really grips the way it should. Instead, it relies on Jordan to shine, and pins its hopes on a clever but predictable ending to make it worth sticking around for.

It's not all bad, its tension and animation working together to sell its conflict, but considering its star and visual appeal you're definitely left wanting more.
