TV Review: 'Love, Death & Robots' and the Rise of NSFW Netflix

WIRED

If you haven't figured it out by the time you see young Hitler getting fellated by a Viennese sex worker, Love, Death & Robots isn't your average Netflix show. Of course, if you haven't figured it out by then, you haven't been paying attention: "Alternate Histories," which features said act being performed upon said icon of evil, is the 17th of 18 episodes in the animated anthology. By that point, you'll have seen full frontal nudity both male, female, and demonic; you'll also have seen a zero-G rendition of 127 Hours that deserves every possible Foley Art award possible, plentiful crushed heads and even more plentiful arcing ichorous spews, and a sex scene that looks like the result of Cinemax becoming a game developer. You may not want to watch with your youth group leader is all I'm saying. The anthology, from a team of executive producers that includes David Fincher and Deadpool director Tim Miller, is a viscerally enjoyable (and just plain visceral) conflagration of the senses.


David Fincher and Tim Miller's animated Netflix series is not for kids

David Fincher's next project for Netflix is taking a sharp left turn. The famed director is working with Deadpool's Tim Miller on Love, Death, and Robots, a mature-themed animated anthology series. The show will revolve around 18 short stories of varying length (from 5 to 15 minutes each), each with their own film crews using distinctive art styles ranging from classic 2D to realistic CG. The producers aren't saying much about the content, but have noted the episodes will cover genres like comedy, horror and tragedy. You can expect subjects as strange as "alien spiders" and "sentient dairy," in case you thought the producers might play it safe.
