I had an evening where I was surprisingly free to sit down and watch television with no specific show in mind.\u00a0 I had recently finished several shows that was on my never ending list of things that I want to consider watching, and I didn\u2019t want to delve into any of the series that I\u2019d know would be gigantic commitments, so I sat down with an objective to comb through different platforms and do somewhat of an audit of things that things that I would watch eventually.<\/span><\/p>\n When I got to Netflix, Love Death + Robots<\/em> had the little red label on it indicating new episodes, and my plan to merely refresh the list went out the window and I was diving into the first episode.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been a fan of the series as a whole in general, even though I think the initial momentum had slowed down in ensuing seasons, but considering the one-off nature of all the episodes, redemption is always the next story away.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, after I finished, quickly, all ten of the episodes of season<\/span> Vol. 4, I was just left with this unsatisfied feeling of ehhhh that\u2019s it<\/em>?\u00a0 To me, there weren\u2019t any particular standout episodes like there had been in prior volumes, and my general vibe was that the collection as a whole seemed to be pretty devoid of love, way low on the robots, but still had plenty of death.\u00a0 I felt as if, kind of like Black Mirror<\/em>, the series had gained some notoriety, and it became a property that niche celebrities wanted to associate with, and the series was more than willing to accommodate, even if it came at the expense of the quality that put it on the map in earlier collections.<\/span><\/p>\n David Fincher, Tim Miller and even fucking MrBeast were notable contributors to this collection, with Netflix making the conceited effort to let people know about the latter\u2019s appearance in Screaming of the Tyrannosaur<\/em>.\u00a0 But it seemed to me that this collection banked on people recognizing some of the more notable contributors and watching just for that, but in the end, none of the episodes were really that standout great.<\/span><\/p>\n I mean, the final episode that was presented to me, Can\u2019t Stop<\/em> was literally just a glorified music video; I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers<\/em>, but this was literally just a fucking puppet show on top of Can\u2019t Stop<\/em>.\u00a0 The song is good, and the video was chill and fun, but in the grand spectrum of things, I watch shit to be told stories and be entertained, not be fed regurgitated content with puppets replacing the actual people.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s really not much else to add.\u00a0 The volume as a whole was a holistic letdown in my opinion, but thankfully it wasn\u2019t a tremendous time commitment, so it\u2019s not a situation where I\u2019m upset about the sunk cost of time wasted.\u00a0 If this is the direction that the franchise is headed, I\u2019m under the impression that perhaps they should consider stop where they finished.\u00a0 I know the order of the series isn\u2019t anything concrete, but if they ended with Can\u2019t Stop<\/em>, they can at least say they closed the book on the series with David Fincher.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, here\u2019s how I\u2019d rank the episodes; not that it\u2019s really indicative of actual quality, it\u2019s more like ranking the turds in the bowl that are the least to most stinky:<\/span><\/p>\n I had an evening where I was surprisingly free to sit down and watch television with no specific show in mind.\u00a0 I had recently finished several shows that was on my never ending list of things that I want to consider watching, and I didn\u2019t want to delve into any of the series that I\u2019d … Continue reading Love Death + Robots Vol. 4: Maybe it\u2019s time to hang it up<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[79,45,83,69],"class_list":["post-50718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cashmoney","tag-fail","tag-observations","tag-television"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50718"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50720,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50718\/revisions\/50720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
