- A unique puppet rock band, adding a touch of surreal humor to the mix.
- An adult toy, animated in claymation with giant eyes, blending the bizarre with the familiar.
- A priest and an alien, complete with tentacles, strolling together on a beach, merging the sacred with the otherworldly.
- A possibly bionic woman, tormented yet accompanied by an adorable fuzzball, hinting at deep emotional narratives.

- A cat, seemingly disgusted and voyeuristic, adding a dash of dark humor.
The series is helmed by executive producers Tim Miller, known for directing "Deadpool," and David Fincher, acclaimed for "Seven" and "The Social Network." Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who contributed to "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Shrek Forever After," returns as the supervising director, ensuring a high standard of animation and storytelling.
In a 2022 interview with Collider, Fincher expressed his hope that "Love, Death + Robots" would inspire future creatives: "If the legacy of Love, Death + Robots is that there are a handful, fifteen people, ten years from now who became directors or became animators or became motion capture performers or doing voice work because they were such big Love, Death + Robots fans, that's all I care about right now."
He also humorously noted the passion behind the project, saying, "This show was never going to pay for your Gulf Stream. You're either here because you want to be here or you're not here. We're hoping desperately to get to waste more of our lives toiling in obscurity."
