Love, Death & Robots (season 2)
{4.5/5} “If your vacu bot has decided to purge your house of all living things, press 3… To end purge mode, you will need to access the Options menu.”
Love, Death & Robots season 2, aired in 2021
In “Pop Squad” humans now live forever and having children is illegal — Detective Briggs eliminates the children that are found. In “Snow in the Desert” a man named Snow is wanted but he makes it difficult for anyone to capture or kill him — then someone comes along who just wants to travel with him. In “Life Hutch” a soldier whose ship crashed makes it to a facility that’s supposed to keep him alive until rescue arrives — but then the maintenance robot malfunctions.
There are only 8 episodes. Some are funny and some are scary. Authors include John Scalzi, Paolo Bacigalupi, J.G. Ballard, and Harlan Ellison.
The animation is delightful — some more stylized, some more realistic.
These episodes are worth watching but they didn’t wow me the way that some did last season.
There’s some nice music by composers like Tom Holkenborg, Rob Cairns, and Maxime Hervé.
I previously reviewed season 1.
