Love, Death & Robots (stylized as LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS , and represented in emoji form as ❤️☠️🤖) is an American adult animated anthology streaming television series on Netflix.[1] The 18-episode first season was released on March 15, 2019.[2] The series is produced by Tim Miller, Joshua Donen, David Fincher and Jennifer Miller.[3] Each episode was animated by different crews from a range of countries.[4] The series is a re-imagining of Fincher and Miller's long in-development reboot of the 1981 animated science fiction film Heavy Metal.[5]
In June 2019, Netflix renewed the series for an eight-episode second season,[6] that was released on May 14, 2021, with an eight-episode third season scheduled for release in 2022.[7]
Premise [edit]
The animated series consists of stand-alone episodes, all under 20 minutes long, and produced by different casts and crews, though some episodes may share certain crew members. The series title refers to each episode's thematic connection to the three aforementioned subjects, though not every episode contains all three elements.[8] [9] [10]
Episodes [edit]
Volume I (2019) [edit]
Episode numbers reflect Netflix's original ordering. This ordering has since been changed by Netflix.
Volume II (2021) [edit]
Production [edit]
Development [edit]
David Fincher serves as executive producer for the series.
The project evolved from a late 2000s meeting whereby David Fincher and Tim Miller decided to make a remake of the 1981 film Heavy Metal. Announced in 2008, the project was to be produced by Paramount Pictures although Fincher and Miller had trouble getting the funding necessary for the project.[11] According to Miller, after the release of Deadpool, Fincher called Miller saying "OK, so we're going to use your newfound popularity to get our anthology movie made", only to eventually decide, "F*** the movie stuff, let's just take it to Netflix, because they'll let us do whatever we want."[12]
Casting [edit]
The season one cast includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Gary Cole, Chris Parnell, Omid Abtahi, John DiMaggio, Christine Adams, Josh Brener, Emily O'Brien, Jill Talley, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Nolan North, Elaine Tan, Aaron Himelstein, Samira Wiley, Stefan Kapičić, and Topher Grace, with Grace and Winstead appearing in live-action roles, rather than animated. The season two cast includes Michael B. Jordan, Nancy Linari, Emily O'Brien, Joe Dempsie, Ike Amadi, Nolan North, Fred Tatasciore, Peter Franzén, Jennifer Hale, Sebastian Croft, Brian Keene, Steven Pacey, Scott Whyte, and Zita Hanrot.
Writing [edit]
Sixteen of the eighteen short films in the first season are short story adaptations.[11] Initially this was not planned, with the duo envisioning a variety of methods by which they would have developed the series. Miller originally suggested a longer list of stories that he wanted to adapt.[12] Miller primarily wrote outlines and drafts for each short and allowed for scripts to be changed as studios saw fit in order to aid the production.[13]
Release [edit]
Netflix released the first trailer for the series on February 14, 2019;[14] the trailer featured Matt Green's industrial hardcore remix of AMBASSADOR21's "We Are Legion".[15] The episodes of the show are displayed in different orders to different users, which differ from how most shows are displayed on the service.[16] In response to an accusation that the episode order was based on the streaming company's perception of a user's sexual orientation, Netflix responded that there were four unique episode orders, released to users at random.[17] [16]
Reception [edit]
Volume I [edit]
For the first volume, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes compiled 43 critic reviews and identified 77% as positive, with an average rating of 7.03/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "This animated anthology has enough creative Death to satisfy cyberpunk aficionados who Love their Robots to have some Heavy Metal influence, but the series' lofty ambitions are often undercut by a preoccupation with gore and titillation."[18] Metacritic sampled 4 reviews from mainstream critics and calculated a weighted average score of 65/100, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[19]
Writing in The Daily Beast, Nick Schager described the series as "Black Mirror for the ADD-addled video game crowd" and praised the show for its "diverse affair rife with violence, humor, and a healthy dose of sensuality".[10] Peter Rubin of Wired magazine praised the show and its boundary-pushing nature, saying that "sometimes, you just want to see Adolf Hitler suffocated by a giant mound of gelatin". Rubin further voiced frustration with the seemingly "endless parade of stoic supermen and the women who deceive or escape them", noting that at times it seems as though Fincher and Miller have aimed the show at a "particularly retrograde subset of genre fans".[20] In a more negative review, Ben Travers of IndieWire described the episodes as "too often hyper-masculine and half-baked" and gave the series a C grade, though the review was based on only 6 of the 18 episodes.[21] Abby Robinson of Digital Spy called the series problematic in its portrayal of women as primarily sexual objects and victims of trauma, labeling it as "firmly rooted in the past".[22]
Volume II [edit]
The second volume has an 83% rating from 12 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 6.71/10.[23] Matt Fowler of IGN said the season needed a higher episode count, "even though its first season had too many. A shorter catalog is probably best here since this year's batch of stories features some repeating themes. That being said, the series continues to be an enjoyable thought-provoking buffet of animated wonders and wickedness."[24].
