I was not impressed. Probably two episodes were up to their established standard. Several barely made sense, were just a showcase for an animation style, or told no story at all. Hopefully they come out swinging with a new season, but this one felt like they phoned it in
I’ve enjoyed Love, Death & Robots in the past and was looking forward to a new season. But I’ve recently quit Netflix, along with all other streaming services. So the only way I’m going to see the new content is by sailing the digital seas. Which doesn’t help their ratings.
400 Boys was decent, I chuckled at Close Encounters and I did quite enjoy How Zeke Got Religion despite the whole WW2 bombers thing being pretty tired as a trope. The rest of them were pretty unmemorable, alas.
I was especially disappointed at Spider Rose? I don’t know how that story didn’t hit harder since Sterling is one of my favorite authors.
How bad can the season be if Mr. Beast is in one of the episodes? /s
Gross, was he actually involved?
Yes, he’s in the thumbnail.
No wonder I hated the voice actor. They really stood out, and not in a good way.
Wow, didn’t recognize him. Shows how many videos of his I’ve seen.
I’ve only had time to watch the first couple episodes of the new season and my god. What a drop off. I sat through a literal Red Hot Chili Peppers music video for like 5 minutes, the whole time going “Okay surely this isn’t just going to be a shitty fucking music video for an overplayed boring RHCP song, something is going to happen” and nothing did and I just. Why. Does Anthony Kiedis have dirt on someone? How was this allowed to happen. I’ve loved sci fi anthology type stuff since I first read Ray Bradburys “The Illustrated Man” back in the day so Love Death and Robots has always been fun for me even when not every episode is exactly gold. This was my first time thinking wow, they didn’t even try. Low key very disappointed
As soon as I realized it was just a music video, I skipped it.
I got rid of Netflix a while ago, so I torrented the new season, but I’m only halfway through and it hasn’t been memorable at all with the one exception of the Close Encounters one.
I’ve heard nothing but bad things for this season, and I was already miffed at how mediocre Secret Level was, so I’m part of that 50% that didn’t bother
I liked it and want more but yeah not as good as previous. The biggest thing they could do is double the episodes or double their length but I imagine that would be hugely expensive.
This round of episodes were kinda weak. The RHCP episode was interesting though.
