Love, Death, And Robots Season 1: 5 Ups And 2 Downs
2. Up: Greatly Varied Storylines
One second you're focused on monster death matches, the other you're viewing a simulation on six different ways Hitler could've died. No story bleeds into the other or takes away from what came before. Love, Death, and Robots illustrates an excellent ability to tell stories in whatever time is necessary. Concise storytelling is one of the show's greatest strengths, never allowing any episode to drag or feel too rushed.
Each episode always leaves you wanting more. While many Netflix Originals are guilty of stretching shows out to a predetermined length and episode count, LDR allows each of its shorts to be as long as the plot demands they be. The showrunners ensured that stories had time to develop if necessary, while simultaneously trimming off anything extra. What's left is a slew of massively-varied installments (both in plot structure and subject matter) that never milk their concept too much. So many of these could've easily gone on for double or triple their runtimes, but they didn't, and the show is better for it.
In addition, the high level of variety put on display here allows the show to reach a greater audience. This is one show where if someone doesn't like a particular episode, don't worry; it's over before you know it and something completely different is coming up next.
