Love, Death & Robots doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it allows that wheel to take over humanity and ignite a robot apocalypse.

A shorter catalog is probably best here since this year's batch of stories features some repeating themes. That being said, the series continues to be an enjoyable thought-provoking buffet of animated wonders and wickedness.

The stories feel far more contained and less like they're truncated showreels or a sizzle video for an animation studio.

Love Death & Robots Volume 2 fires on all cylinders. It's a stunning testament to adult animation, the depth of story it can tell, and nails exactly how to craft an anthology series.

As a new volume in an anthology, Love, Death + Robots: Volume 2 does not exactly give off the best impression, but as a collection of eight new short films not connected to anything else, it's a great time.

The show's value in a binge-and-forget culture is best symbolised in "The Drowned Giant." Once the novelty wears off, it will fade into oblivion as people move on to the next shiny thing on their watchlist.

Though its narrative reach and explorative curiosity have been lessened, "Love, Death + Robots" still makes for a tremendously entertaining watch, albeit a very, very short one.

The show remains an anthology, but look hard enough and you'll see at least one hint that these shorts might not be occupying wholly distinct universes after all.

Objectively, the shorts in volume 2 are less edgy and violent, trading in gratuitous nudity and gore for poignant storytelling. It's more mature this time around and less messed-up, which makes for stronger viewing.
