So throughout the first 18 episodes of “Love, Death & Robots” - largely overseen by Miller with a handful produced by his Blur Studios - there are plenty of times where someone shows a little extra skin, takes an extra kill shot, lets the blood splatter a little closer to the frame.

So where does that leave Netflix’s anthology collection of animated shorts, each ostensibly drawing on at least one of that trio? “Love, Death & Robots,” debuting an eight-episode Season 2 over two years after its first, continues to be a vague, mystifying catch-all. And that’s all even before addressing the idea that love is an emotion tied to caring about someone so much that you’re afraid to live without them. We’re usually either afraid of robots that could possibly kill us or attracted by the implication of a robot incapable of dying.
For one thing, it’s repetitive: part of the inherent appeal of fictional robots is that they feast on our uncomfortable relationship with death. “Love, Death & Robots” doesn’t make a terrible amount of sense as a title.
