Love , Death And Robots Series Two Review

 


Ladies and gentlemen the awesomeness that is Love , Death And Robots has just released it's entire second series on Netflix and well you just know that I had to check it out and well it really didn't disappoint. I won't lie and say that this series is better then the first first series simply because I don't think that that's even close to even being true but I do think that this is a good series and so join me as I review the second series of the TV series that is called simply "Love , Death And Robots" enjoy.

Just like with the first series of the show this series takes on an anthology format with each and every episode telling a different story and well I think that this format works well for this show. As it allows the makers of this show to tell these really weird and odd stories that you just wouldn't be able to do in either a feature length film or in a TV series that doesn't use an anthology format and I will say that all of the stories in this series are in my opinion at least really freaking good.


Now then I really cannot find out who is playing who in this series and believe you and me i've looked but I do know who some of the actors who are appearing in this series are tho and so starring in this series is Nolan North. Also starring in this series is Elodie Young , Joe Dempsie , Steven Pacey , Sami Amber , Fred Tatasciore , Brynley North , Michelle C. Bonilla , Briant T. Delaney and Michael B. Jordan.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this series in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this series is really freaking good in my opinion. Since you can quite clearly tell that all of the actors that are appearing in this particular series are giving there best shot and it really does show in the performances and it helps that all of the scripts in this particular series are in my opinion at least really good and so all the actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and boom a good performance will come out very naturally. 


Doing the animation for this particular series is Atoll Studio , Passion Animation Studios , Blur Studio , Unit Image , Axis Animation and Blink Industries. In terms of what I personally thought about the animation in this particular series in all honesty the animation that's featured in this particular series is so freaking good i'm not kidding when I say this but the animation that's featured / presented to us in these episodes is movie quality because it's that good heck the animation that's featured / presented to us in these episodes at times honestly looks like live action that's how good the animation in this particular series well and truly is in my opinion.


Now I did go into this review thinking that this series was alot tamer then the first series however the end of episode four which is called simply just "Snow In The Desert" very quickly changed my perception of this series. Since yeah this series is just as dark and just as brutal as the first series was which was honestly good to see since alot of the episodes up until that point had been playing it pretty safe by not showing us anything really adult and then episode four comes along and gives us all of the adult goodness that we love in this series.

What I found to be pretty odd is that this series has a Christmas episode which honestly makes me wonder if this series was due to be released in December of last year or was due to be released in December of this year. Since having a Christmas episode air in the middle of Spring is just weird and strange and it doesn't help that the Christmas is perhaps the worst episode of this particular series in my opinion.


As with the first series there is what appears to be a live action episode in this series altho given how good the animation in this series is it's honestly really hard to tell if the last episode of this series was live action or if the last episode of this series was fully 3D CGI animated or not. However if the last episode of this series was live action then whole heck does the CGI in that episode look fantastic because not only did they create a fully 3D CGI giant but they had they giant interact with the sand on a beach and they had possible live action actors interacting with the giant all of which would have been a huge pain to create and yet the team over at Blur Studio not only created it but they also in my opinion at least made it look really freaking good.

Now then boys girls this particular series of Love , Death And Robots is made up of eight episodes with all of the episodes lasting no longer then eighteen minuets and so you could very easily binge watch all of these episodes in well under two and a half hours. This is something that I myself have just finished doing and trust me it will be worth it since you'll get to see some truly fantastic stories being told over the course of those eight episodes.


Now then boys and girls as with any show not all of the episodes in this series are that good infact there are at least three maybe even four episodes that are pretty bad / weak. However even those episodes are still really good episodes they just come of looking bad when you compare them to the over episodes in this series and as for what episode I personally liked in this series I personally either episode four "Snow In The Desert" or episode three which is called simply just "Pop Squad" since both of those episodes tell really good stories and both of those episodes also have what I think are some truly shocking endings.


Overall this particular series was in my opinion at least a really good follow up to a really great first series and yes there are a few things wrong this series those things mostly being the bad episodes but in my opinion are least there are far more good things in this series then there are bad things with this series. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about all of the good and both of the bad things that are in this series in this very review that means that this particular series of Love , Death And Robots gets a solid 8.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Love , Death And Robots fandom wiki page and nowhere else and since I only went to the official Love , Death And Robots fandom wiki page. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Love , Death And Robots fandom wiki page if you want to use any image from Love , Death And Robots and yes there is a third season of Love , Death And Robots coming at somepoint next year but weather or not i'll review that particular series remains to be seen tho.
