Netflix's Love, Death & Robots: All 18 Episodes, Ranked Worst To Best
8. Lucky 13
After the drop-ship Lucky 13 lost two crews, no pilot would fly her…but rookies don’t get a choice.
Photo-realistic CG is the archetype for a good many of the episodes, but Lucky 13 looks the most “real.” Orange is the New Black’s Samira Wiley stars in what is the elite acting by any of the actors in the shorts.
The relationship between the rookie pilot and her ship, Lucky 13, is as emotionally as any of the other couples in Love, Death, and Robots. What you think will be a gory and ominous tale about a cursed ship turns into an uplifting and inspirational story about the little starship that could.
Ridley Scott would be proud as the short shows much appreciation to sci-fi flicks Alien, The Martian, and Blade Runner. It’s not the best action nor the best animation, but Lucky 13 sticks in your craw despite it all.
