TV Show - Love, Death & Robots s1 (2019) [/]

Love, Death & Robots is an anthology science fiction series. Each short is a few minutes to max of 15 or so minutes and they're done by different production companies so there's a wide range between CGI, animation and real actors.

There's humor, suspense, a lot of shorts have a bit of nudity (and there is I think one short sex scene). Most stories have a setup then a twist reveal to end and I like those. All have good production values although sometimes the story is ho hum.

My favorite episodes from season 1 (season 2 was just released but I haven't watched it yet):

Three Robots - Three robots do a self-tour of devastated Earth making fun of the extinct humans and their goofy technology. The twist is when the robots discover what actually wiped out the humans.

Suits - Mech piloting farmers defend themselves from a massive bug attack. I like Mechs and these are kind of like BattleTech Dark Age work mechs with homemade weapons.

Lucky 13 - A rookie Marine pilot gets assigned the unlucky assault transport that killed its previous two crews. But for her and her cargo "13" becomes the steadfast ol' reliable that always brings everyone home safe. Except for the last mission...

Overall it's a good and fairly short series.
