Positives
The different animation styles are brilliant during the season. Each episode has a distinct style that is strikingly good.
Along with the animation, the sound matches up quite perfectly in an amalgamation of magnificent sensory stimulants.
The stories have some thought-provoking messages and don’t shy away from holding a critical mirror that highlights the follies of the human race.
Even the humour is top-notch stuff. The writing is great and deserves tons of credit for making the episodes what they are.
Negatives
The over-reliance on strobe effects and quick cuts do make some of the episodes a bit of a strain to watch and can be triggering to some audiences.
Verdict
Volume 3 of Love, Death & Robots is a huge improvement on the previous season and includes some thrilling stories that keep the audience hooked. The short episodes allows for a breezy watch allowing the viewer to get through them in no time whatsoever.
