This series is probably not an insider tip. Because really everyone who is active in social media has said something to it, made a recommendation and Netflix itself suggests it to everyone. Except maybe kids. Because it's indeed an animated series, but it shines with a lot of violence and eroticism, death and naked skin and other naked things are essential for the series, as the name suggests.
Love, death ... and then there are the robots, so it's also about science fiction. Actually, I went through the show right after the release in one night because I couldn't stop, and I didn't do that in any show before. I've watched them over at one time. I couldn't do anything else that day (night) anyway, because maybe I was a little dehydrated, so: time well used!
The series joins Black Mirror and Mindhunter and meets my taste completely, this should definitely be mentioned because these series are so incredibly deep in their expressiveness and offer much more than just good entertainment.
The philosophy of Love, Death and Robots?
The series consists of 18 episodes, each with its own storyline. There are 18 animated short movies created in a variety of animation styles. Different variants of the science fiction genre are served. All in all, it is a science fiction anthology animation series. As you might guess, I am a big science fiction fan, but beyond that, science fiction is an ideal tool to answer philosophical and existential questions to the extreme and to understand the core.
I mean, a yogurt that takes the power over the world? In the series we meet intelligent machines, fantastic beings, we are invited to dystopian thought experiments, time travel and the big questions about the meaning of life and our place in the breathtaking power of existence. In principle, that says it all.
Of course, only the rough theme of some episodes plays a role. So if you haven't seen the show yet or haven't seen it completely until yet, you can read this and the next article I'll post tomorrow, I won't spoil. But I assume you've probably seen Love, Death & Robots before.
So: What makes the loving death with robots so worth seeing? So breathtaking and special?
This is the first one:
You wouldn't see something like this series without streaming services like Netflix. An animated series with an age rating of 18? In the normal movie and entertainment business, there wouldn't be enough revenue to cover the costs. Netflix has much more room for experiments, action and play, since customers have to pay every month. Otherwise this series would probably not have been produced. Because animated movies are really expensive.
A Disney animation movie costs up to 300 million dollars in production, that's around 270 million euros. Oh, and to get it into a relationship: That's as much as all the 3 parts of the Lord of the Rings trilogy cost together.
By the way, the individual episodes of love-making robots who want to see death are based on short stories by different science fiction authors. Without Netflix and this series, this stories would never have met such a broad audience.
