Compared to the previous series, this one is somewhat more consistent. Sure, there are still episodes that didn’t capture my imagination as vividly as I’d hoped, but a few episodes really managed to fully engage me. Without a doubt, the best episode is the second one, titled BAD TRAVELLING. It clearly showcased Fincher’s perfectionism, from the flawless performances (yes, it’s animation, but to direct it this convincingly? Hats off) to the incredibly intricate story with well-crafted twists (and a rather brutal edge). A few other additions to the LDR universe were surprising, with MASON'S RATS being the most entertaining episode the series needed. I was quite disappointed with the last episode, JIBARO—though the animation is breathtaking, the plot didn’t hold up, resulting in a rather weak installment. I’m definitely in favor of another season (with Fincher’s involvement again). For me, it deserves a solid, above-average 8/10.

A powerful series full of bold narrative experiments. A moralizing work from Fincher about unfathomable sailors throws out the bait and the viewer is hooked until the end. The homage to Lovecraft almost sighs (shame about little glitches - robots instead of Shoggoth and the truncated ending) and the frenetic ending about a deaf miser and the siren had my jaw dropped to the floor. And no shortage of witty moments. Although the return of the Three Robots is no longer such a wow as first time round, but it is still very well-done and Mason’s Rats is an absurdly bloody massacre. Night of the Mini Dead shows the huge scale that the miniatures have to offer and gives the destruction of the earth an even wittier slant. The best season so far.

The biggest guilty pleasure and the most powerful ultimate cinematic experience in a hell of a long time. A multi-genre revolution and evolution all in one. Breathtaking visuals, sphincter-clenching action, philosophical insight, wild fun and Fincher off the rails... Uff I experienced multiple orgasms. 1. Three Robots- Exit Strategy: a trio of famous robots return to explore human survival strategies in a post-apocalyptic world. Nice visuals, a more narrative tale with nice shots of skeletons and a funny final insert. I could have done without the robots, but as an entry it's decent. 3.5/5. 2. Bad Travelling: David Fincher shocks right from the start. Completely out of control, dominating everyone. Riveting animation, densely dark atmosphere, a huge and brilliantly designed crab, uncompromising gore, a load of twists and turns, and a powerful story about morality, loyalty and betrayal. Wonderful. And calls for a feature film! 5/5. 3. The Very Pulse of the Machine: For me the weakest and most useless short. I didn’t like the animation that I don't like, it’s unnecessarily long, with a slow pace, no action or gore, just a psychotropic trip and exploration of the moon (It could have been more substantial in CGI animation), the final music decent. 2/5. 4. Night of the Mini Dead: A crazy zombie satire starting with cheesy sex in a cemetery and ending with a worldwide zombie apocalypse in 2D animation. An unconventional and original concept, funny, gritty, morbid, entertaining, short and with references to zombie classics. 4/5. 5. Kill Team Kill: Another classic animation short, but thankfully the last one (only 2 in this season), it's a silly thing about a badass team up against a giant mecha grizlly. Lots of blood, great lines, simple but fun. One of the funniest of the lot. 4/5. 6. Swarm: Again, very impressive CGI animation about two scientists exploring an ancient alien civilization. Interesting thoughts and musings, decent dialogue and decently suspenseful and surprisingly gritty towards the end. Shame about the truncated ending, but definitely cool. 4/5. 7. Mason's Rats: This is unbelievably awesome! Ratpocalypse! A farmer has an army of evolutionary rats in his barn and decides to call in exterminators with high tech gadgets and it's World War 4!!! Great animation, amazingly wacky idea, funny interludes, incredibly brutal action and a surprise ending. This was incredibly well done. Again, a short worthy of a feature film. 5/5. 8. In Vaulted Halls Entombed: Another epic experience. Deep in Afghanistan, a group of soldiers are tasked with freeing a hostage from terrorists, but encounter an alien evil! An action-packed inferno with alien spiders and Lovecraftian Ctulhu and visuals so impressive that I was at times hesitant as to whether it was animation or reality. Add on top of that the raw and uncompromising gore and you have the best Alien experience since Alien. 5/5. 9. Jibaro: The final blast! An artsy, folkloric reimagining of the fairy tale ballad about a siren who lures men to their doom with her singing. A brutal ballet of death wth knights on a lake with impressive CGI animation, chaotic and wild camerawork that adds to the rawness and unpleasantness. For me it was quite a horror chill with a slightly weird but crazy ending (the most brutal gold heist I've ever seen) Wow! The only minus is again the fact that it could have had then more short stories, but this is still a unique piece of cinematic entertainment that stands out thanks to today's modern times. Blown heads and ripped balls at the same time. 5/5. The overall experience is full house. Only a chosen few will appreciate it.
