Volum 4 Series Review – happy, imaginative and thematically focused

In the new season, the series extends with crazy ideas, such as huge babies such as post-apocalyptic monsters, people who fight dinosaurs at the moons of Jupiter and a dolphin-messias. But what connects the episodes is a deeply human element. In the first episode, David Fincher again appears his roots of director music videos, in which the performance of Red Hot Chili Peppers in Slane Castle, Ireland, is shown in a world in 2003 in which people are puppets. In the episode, euphoric joy is to be connected to other people through music, without dialogue that underlines euphoric joy. In another episode we see a mockmentary story that illustrates the problems of anthropomorphic household appliances. Their suffering serve as a sublime comment on how people treat each other and immortalize a wave effect of suffering. Love, death + robot: volume four pursues a focused approach by structuring the stories about simple thematic elements. Despite the thematic wealth, the series suffers from signed characters. The impressive depths and layers in the stories are lacking in the characters, which makes it difficult for us to connect with them at an emotional level. Although the technical efforts ensure an urgent experience, this season breaks away from their predecessors with their unused characters.
