I was watching Love, Death & Robots for the first time last night on netflix. It's basically a show compromised of shorts done in different art/animation styles and each episode has its own story. There are of course a large number of sci fi / dystopian / post apocalyptic ones which are extremely good and often they have a deep moral understanding within the story without trying to force it down your throat.

Episode 2 is also really good, it follows 3 robots going on a vacation to a post apocalyptic city where they analyze the seemingly primitive nature of humans and it had a few laugh out loud moments for me.

Anyway, without giving anything away episode 7 had some ED vibes and i thought it was really really good. Since I am assuming most of you here enjoy sci fi stuff I thought I would recommend it as it was truly brilliant imo. I'm sure many of you may have already seen it but if not, trust me, the twist is worth it (did someone say thargoids 🤔).

Season one was still certainly the best. I absolutely LOVED the "Suits" episode (Where the farmers are all mech warriors defending their farms from aliens) and that there was an Irish/Scottish offering in "Helping Hand". Of the 18 episodes, I think there were only 2 or 3 that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.

Season two was disappointing to me, they seemed to have gone more "art house" in their efforts. Whereas in season one there were only a small handful I didn't enjoy, this time around there were only one or two I did enjoy. The final episode, the Drowned Giant, got mad critical acclaim, I found it about as enjoyable as watching paint dry.

Season three is a bit of a mix of the two, although I haven't finished it yet. (Which says something, I think). The Three Robots are back, I enjoyed the Night of the Mini Dead, and Mason's Rats (same lads who did Helping Hand in season one).

The animation is absolutely top notch, but they need to ramp the storytelling and action back up again.

Beyond the Aquila Rift is an excellent adaptation of the short story by British science fiction author Alastair Reynolds. Zima Blue is also an adaptation of another of his short stories.

I suspect his work has been influential on ED especially the novel Chasm City.
