Love, Death & Robots: 9 Reasons You MUST Watch

Although the stories in the collection are a blend of art, science fiction and erotica, it’s remarkable how smart and entertaining most of them are. There are many commentaries on the dangers of modern life, future technology and the human psyche.

Some episodes are more effective than others, but it’s always intriguing to watch each story unfold in their own unique way, especially the ones that make us emotionally connect with the characters in a short period of time.

Most of the stories are well written and original, whilst others borrow from familiar tropes. They’re based on existing short stories from well known science fiction authors, including Marko Kloos, Alastair Reynolds and John Scalzi. Some of the best are the two adaptations from Reynolds – a British author – called Beyond the Aquila Rift and Zima Blue.

There are lots of crazy things that you won’t want to miss – imaginative ways Hitler could’ve died, traditional Chinese folklore crossed with steampunk and genetically-engineered underground monster battles. There are even cats.
