== Premise == The animated series consists of a collection of [[short films]], produced by different casts and crews, though some episodes have some overlap in certain crew members. The series title refers to each episode's thematic connection to one or more of the three titular subjects.
Beyond the themes and genres, there are no story connections between the shorts with the exception of Season 1's "Three Robots", which has a sequel (Season 3's "Three Robots: Exit Strategies").<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.co.uk/article/love-death-and-robots-review-netflix|title=Netflix's Love, Death & Robots is sexist sci-fi at its most tedious|last=Temperton|first=James|date=March 16, 2019|magazine=Wired UK|access-date=March 24, 2019|issn=1357-0978|archive-date=May 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515234221/https://www.wired.co.uk/article/love-death-and-robots-review-netflix|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-reviews/love-death-robots-tv-review-netflix-808651/|title='Love, Death & Robots' Review: Netflix's 'Heavy Metal' For Post-Millennials|last=Fear|first=David|date=March 18, 2019|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=March 24, 2019|archive-date=June 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628215032/https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-reviews/love-death-robots-tv-review-netflix-808651/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="dailybeast" />

For the production of the second season, Miller revealed that they changed supervisors to offer a different perspective from the previous season. When Nelson was recruited she convinced the crew including Miller to introduce stories that the latter never thought that would be introduced for the show. To bring the different nature of each episode for the series, the crew worked with different creators and companies to get the different styles for each episode. Unlike the first season that contained 18 episodes, the second season is shorter than the previous one having only released eight episodes. Miller confessed that it was originally meant to get the same amount of episodes like the previous one, however Netflix asked them to shorten it in order to release it sooner in the streaming service, with the remaining episodes being released as part of the third season.<ref name=":1" /> Another factor to consider is the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] that affected the production of the show which caused the production to be suspended, which would lead the crew to take the decision of making the second season shorter in order to avoid more delays.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Colbert |first=Stephen M. |date=May 13, 2021 |title=Love, Death & Robots: Why Season 2 is So Much Shorter |url=https://screenrant.com/love-death-robots-season-2-netflix-short-why/ |access-date=May 23, 2022 |website=ScreenRant |language=en-US}}</ref>
=== Animation === While [[Blur Studio]] is in charge of producing the series, it also was in charge of animating a few episodes for the show. As each episode has a different animation style, the visual effect supervisor for the series revealed that they contacted different studios: "We've been competing against some of these companies for years and admire them greatly. It was thrilling to bring everyone together and let them apply their unique visions to these shorts. It was here where all the creative freedom really paid off."

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 (film)|Heavy Metal]]'' influence, but the series' lofty ambitions are often undercut by a preoccupation with gore and titillation."<ref>{{Cite Rotten Tomatoes|id=love_death_robots|title=Love, Death & Robots|type=tv|season=1|access-date=April 18, 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> [[Metacritic]] sampled 4 reviews from mainstream critics and calculated a [[weighted average]] score of 65/100, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref>{{Cite Metacritic|id=love-death-robots|title=Love, Death & Robots|type=tv|season=1|access-date=April 10, 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
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".<ref name="dailybeast">{{Cite news|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/netflixs-love-death-and-robots-is-a-sex-filled-sci-fi-extravaganza-featuring-latex-strippers-and-killing-hitler|title=From Latex Strippers to Killing Hitler: Inside Netflix's Wildest Series|last=Schager|first=Nick|date=March 15, 2019|work=Daily Beast|access-date=March 18, 2019|archive-date=September 12, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190912053503/https://www.thedailybeast.com/netflixs-love-death-and-robots-is-a-sex-filled-sci-fi-extravaganza-featuring-latex-strippers-and-killing-hitler|url-status=live}}</ref> Peter Rubin of ''[[Wired (magazine)|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".<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/story/love-death-and-robots-review/|title='Love, Death & Robots' and the Rise of NSFW Netflix|last=Rubin|first=Peter|date=March 15, 2019|magazine=WIRED|access-date=March 19, 2019|archive-date=March 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190323041324/https://www.wired.com/story/love-death-and-robots-review/|url-status=live}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2019/03/love-death-robots-review-netflix-series-david-fincher-1202050029/|title='Love, Death & Robots' Review: David Fincher and Tim Miller's Netflix Shorts Are One-Dimensional Beauty|last=Travers|first=Ben|date=March 10, 2019|website=IndieWire|access-date=March 18, 2019|archive-date=March 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190319113316/https://www.indiewire.com/2019/03/love-death-robots-review-netflix-series-david-fincher-1202050029/|url-status=live}}</ref> 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".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a26856709/love-death-and-robots-netflix-sexist-misogynistic/|title='Netflix's Love Death + Robots has one very big problem and it's not okay|last=Robinson|first=Abby|date=March 19, 2019|website=Digital Spy|access-date=March 19, 2019|archive-date=March 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190319012007/https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a26856709/love-death-and-robots-netflix-sexist-misogynistic/|url-status=live}}</ref>
===Volume II=== The second volume has an 81% rating from 16 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 6.90/10.
