If anyone has not sampled Netflix's new series "Love, Death & Robots," I cannot urge you strongly enough to run, do not walk, and take a look. Short take: it's been a long time since I've had anything blow my mind to this degree.
If you're not clear (and the promotion has been minimal and murky), it's a 'series' of 18 animated shorts, from about 5 to 15 minutes each, done by the same team but with different animators and directors (and writers). I've watched the first fourteen so far. A few are... what you'd expect from leading-edge animation for adults, which is damning with faint praise. They're watchable, and entertaining, but almost filler up against the really good entries.
Oh, "for adults" - very. For adult-adults. They are nearly all brutal, rough, very disturbing in imagery, story and theme, have no bars on language or violence and filled with frontal nudity.
If you want to sample it with minimal exposure to those elements, 'Zima Blue' is almost kid-friendly except for a disturbing overall theme.
I'll just leave it at that; discussion of favorites to follow if appropriate.
The second installment is three robots touring a post-apocalyptic Earth (and if you've seen any clips or promos, this piece is featured). It's based on a short story by John Scalzi; many of the installments have similarly distinguished roots.
Very mild spoilers: it's funny as hell and features a completely synthesized (voice) descendant of GlaDOS.
Binged it a couple of weeks ago. It reminds me of the old movie Heavy Metal. Thought it was very cool.
