    Me and the wife have been huge fans ever since nasa BBC pa siya. While the tone shifted drastically with the move to Netflix, I can sorta see why they nearly pivoted away from it completely this season by going absurdist and meta-humor.

          Love, Death, and Robots

          I recommend this show for its innovation. The animations are state-of-the-art. Be warn: intense graphics, flashing lights, explicit sexual content.
