Have you had a chance to watch Love, Death + Robots yet?

The adult-themed Netflix series is an 18-episode anthology of animated shorts. The episodes vary in length, with the longest being 17 minutes and shortest clocking in at only six. None of the episodes connect to the others in any way, and at least a dozen different animation studios were tasked with bringing each story to life. In fact, only a couple of studios worked on more than one episode each, which is what made each episode so unique.

Join us as we take rank the best and worst episodes of Netflix‘s Love, Death + Robots.
