I loved every moment of this episode. It was beautiful in every moment and very appealing to the eye. The robot characters were fantastic. Each had a great personality, even the Siri- HAL like robot. They balance each other so well, and would make a perfect team. I know this probably took hours, even days, for this 11 min episode. But I would watch if it had its own series, and probably watch it multiples times. The animation and effects are incredibly well done, and it's something different in today's world. No show like it has robots with great personality's. The setting of a post apocalyptic world where humans are gone and these three robots are just learning about them would be a great show for today's critical world. Please make more of these.

Pure joy from end to end.

What can I say except that I'm back here after binging on this whole series...
This episode was a moment of pure joy among the delicious, delectable, yet overwhelmingly dark episodes of LD+R...
Parnell is perfectly cast AGAIN... It's like he was invented for the roles he's been handed in Archer, R&M and this.
As to the episode itself, from the opening Terminator throwback to the final exposition, this episode is a joyous romp at the expense of our history... Or more accurately mistory.
Some might balk at the suggested political message crowbarred into the episode, but that is offset by the ridiculous conclusions our three "heroic" tourists come to.

After the first episode I was worried this series was going to be really underwhelming.
Thankfully this second episode was clever and hilarious and fun. I loved the black comic tone of this one. I especially enjoyed the sarcastic style of the pyramid shaped robot. I hope this is a sign for subsequent episodes!
The cat stuff became a little stupid but I can forgive it.

If there was a time where I feel I am watching the future. This would be now. Spot on with how I feel robots or aliens would look at humans. Could not have a better threesome of a group. So funny. Love the concept! More more more, from all 3 is what I want.
Comedy is forced and overdone to a ridiculous point
ibrandonross23 March 2019
I was disappointed by this one. And I'm really sad to say it too. I am a sucker for anything post apocalyptic, and even if the show/movie is bad, if the setting is good I can enjoy it. I didn't. The comedy felt way to juvenile and sophomoric, and not in a good way. It almost felt as if it were trying to appeal to a younger audience (they even make a joke about teabagging at one point) and for a show that claims to be NSFW, this really makes this episode stand out, and again, not in a good way. A better story would have been a singular robot without any dialogue walking the dead city trying yo emulate what humans did when they were alive. It would have been sadder and a lot more emotional, which is something that would have been better for a series like this. One thing I have to give it props for is its animation. It is absolutley spectacular. Thats what keeps me from rating this any lower
Wish it had been longer...

Three Robots is by far one 9f my top tier episodes of Love Death + Robots. The voice acting was on point and just really warmed me to these characters and their humour.
As a cat owner and lover the addition of the cats really appealed to me. Of course they will play a part in the downfall of the human race.
The message of humanity destroying itself and the planet by our own carelessness, willful ignorance or indifference to climate change etc was nothing new but was done in good humour and I didn't feel talked down or patronised in the slightest.
Love Death + Robots has many highs and lows in my opinion and this was definitely a high.

This episode was decent. Very nice animation and a clever story to go with it. I liked the distinct personas and dialogue that went with each robot, and their journey through a post-apocalyptic earth was fun and humorous. I also liked how the robots spoke of humans because it was basically all true lmao. It wasn't anything amazing but it was a cool, fun watch

It's Scalzi, so it's derivative and twee
RogerBorg30 May 2022
The big twist reveal in the plot here is only a surprise if you've never read any classic science fiction, or seen Red Dwarf. Scalzi fans will, of course, lap it up. I expect better than pastiches though.
The weakness of the concept aside, the realisation is strong, with styling animation and characterisation, great voice work, and a couple of clever callbacks (from the mind of the director, not Scalzi, I'm sure)

Brilliant animation ... but a little corny

Three very different robots with inexplicably human-like personalities, are tourists in a decimated American city. For some reason they don't know even the basic fundamental details about the biological functions of the beings they are so interested in (eating food and digesting it, for example). No details are given about how long ago the event occurred: human skeletons litter the streetscape yet a hamburger sits intact on the table of a diner.
The animation is brilliant, I just found the general story and 'hipness' of the robots very corny. The only indication about what happened to humans is the missile in its silo (unlaunched). Looks great, it just needed a better storyline!

Three Robots and a CAT!

Just started watching this series. The first episode (Sonny's Edge) was quite dark. I expected more darkness from this one but it turned to be quite cute and funny.
Highly entertaining episode and you can clearly see shades of Tim Miller here.
Hilarious from Start to Finish
thedoctor20517 March 2019
Once again, Love Death + Robots features some truly impressive animation. Until the cat showed up, most of it looked kinda real. After the cat gag, it seems to drag on a bit but from start to finish it's really funny. Always great to see Josh Brener acting in something, I'm a huge fan of Silicon Valley
Hilarious and brilliant

The grand tour
paultapner24 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Adaptation of a John Scalzi story, which sees three rather different robots with very different personalities tour a human city long long after the end of the human race.
They see various things that we would take for granted, and struggle to understand them.
They meet a strange creature.
And each of them have different reactions to things.
This is stronger than the first story, as it feels very original. It's very pacy at just around twelve minutes, and instead of trying to be dark and edgy, it's just fun. There's a serious point in there, but it's clever enough to hide it among lighter moments in the process.
A great little bit of television, and well worth a watch.

an entertaining follow-up
framptonhollis10 June 2019
With this second episode, the show has clearly established its anthological concept, shifting radically in tone, setting, character, story, and style. A large part of why this episode works at all is because it sets up the eclectic style the show itself is going for, although there are a few factors at play here that are successful on their own. The episode itself is a slightly dark sci-fi comedy unafraid of vulgarity or silliness so much of its quality relies on whether or not it is funny. Is it funny? I would say it is alternately hilarious and just sort of stupid/try-hard, but luckily the majority of the episode is the former. The extremely deadpan automated-female-voiced robot is a genuinely funny character and got the most laughs by far out of me. I also got a few laughs out of the overly-enthusiastic bot played by Josh Brener. The other robot, played by Gary Anthony Williams, was a largely likable character but got the least laughs by far, though this is at least partially because he seemed to be serving as the "straight man" character of the bunch, even if he was the subject of a lot of overt humor throughout. Generally, this episode worked but, like I said, the humor is sort of hit-or-miss, even if there are more hits than misses there are still plenty of misses.
By far the worst in a normally great season
Andy_Eban7 October 2019
I absolutely love this TV show. This episode though seems like it was written by teenage girls. The dialogue and humour is middle school tier. Its really jarring especially considering how dark the rest of the show is. The animation style is good, but the voices assigned to the robots were not appropriate and ruined immersion.
Also, unlike all the other episodes in this show, there was no twist or surprise ending. Was really lame on almost all front.
My still favourite episode!!!

Much improvement on the first episode.
