Ranking All 10 Episodes of Love, Death and Robots Volume 4
Netflix’s wacky animated anthology series Love Death and Robots returns after almost 3 years with its highly anticipated season 4. Does it deliver like its previous outings? Here’s my ranking for all the episodes.
The new season of the smash hit Netflix animated anthology, Love Death and Robots is packed with something for everyone. If you got hooked on this series for its action, comedy, drama, or those jaw-dropping moments of gore, rest assured—this season delivers all that and more. The series delivers with its unique animation styles and also features a live-action short. Like past seasons, this one too has a few slow moments, but overall, it hits just right—like a satisfying meal after a long, exhausting day. It wasn’t easy to crown the best among all of these, but here’s a look at which hits a sixer and which falls flat.
Rank – 10 (Season 4, Episode 1 - Can't Stop)
Honestly, I was disappointed with the season premiere, which featured the Red Hot Chili Peppers. No, don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of this band and was excited when the episode began, but sadly, nothing cool or exciting happens in the end! This feels just like a filler episode without any deep impact or shock value, which this show has been promising us since the very beginning. What’s shocking is that this one is directed by one of my favorite directors – David Fincher! When an episode of Love Death and Robots ropes in Red Hot Chili Peppers and David Fincher, but ends up falling flat, am I not allowed to be disappointed? Alas, let’s move on.
Rank – 9 (Season 4, Episode 6 – Golgotha)
Golgotha adds to the rare list of live-action episodes of this show. But sadly, the results were not up to the mark. The idea was pretty good, involving a priest having the fate of humankind in his hands when he is summoned to meet an alien intruder. But there’s much more to it. This episode features some dark comedy twists that have been given in better forms in previous outings. But the story fails to keep you glued despite an excellent performance from Rhys Darby.
Rank – 8 (Season 4, Episode 2 - Close Encounters of the Mini Kind)
This episode focuses on Alien invasion yet again (a very common trope for literally 90% of the Sci-fi genre), but sadly, it fails to leave a mark. It begins with a great promise that shows us a miniature world from a top-angle camera(literally). The episode was intended to deliver a dark comedy, but it fell flat. It kicks off with a burst of impulsive energy and violence, cleverly disguised under breezy, light-toned cinematography. But the climax? As underwhelming and forgettable as one of those dull history lectures you couldn’t wait to sleep through.
Rank – 7 (Season 4, Episode 4 – 400 Boys)
With a run time of 15 minutes, this episode delivers a stunning animation with a story that looked promising in the beginning. This episode focuses on a dystopian city that is ruled by various gangs on each street. But leaving their rivalries and histories behind, they need to come together to defeat the greater evil. Well, the episode was kind of weird as the greater evil was in the form of giant babies. The episode delivers some gore and graphic scenes, too, but despite everything, it fails to meet the mark.
Rank – 6 (Season 4, Episode 10 – For He Can Creep)
I think the core theme of Season 4 was divided into pets (in the form of cats) and alien invasion. This episode blends literature with a group of cats fighting Satan! I know it sounds weird, but surely this episode was not that odd to watch. The story is offbeat, charming, along with great visuals. But the story lacks depth. A character like Lucifer, which is a fan favorite thanks to Netflix itself, is shown very weak in this episode. That’s quite heartbreaking.
Rank – 5 (Season 4, Episode 5 – The Other Large Thing)
Yet another episode featuring a cat as a pet, and this is where the better and more enjoyable episodes begin. A cat who is not tended to correctly by its owners recruits the new pet (or slave) brought by the owners to start a revolution! But this new pet is a robot. Seems interesting, right? This dark comedy hits the right notes, but the makers intended to make it darker than it actually was. But overall, a pretty enjoyable episode of Love Death and Robots, a must-watch.
Rank – 4 (Season 4, Episode 9 – Smart Appliances, Stupid Owners)
Our lives are getting surrounded by smart appliances every day, but how do these smart appliances think of us? The most hilarious episode of this season focuses on the daily smart appliances that we use. They are talking to the camera by breaking the fourth wall. While laughing your lungs out, you will also feel sorrow for the appliances and their hilarious pay-off. These appliances are voiced by famous names such as Brett Goldstein and Kevin Hart. Give this a watch.
Rank – 3 (Season 4, Episode 7 – The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur)
Mr. Beast (yes, the YouTuber) hosts a galactic death race organized to honor a royal wedding! Yes, this sounds exciting, and the episode, too, delivers. This death race, despite being set in the distant future, features elements from the distant past in the form of Dinosaurs! This episode is weird, wacky, full of tension, and delivers gore, shock, and satisfaction. Rightly deserves its spot in the top 3.
Rank – 2 (Season 4, Episode 3 – Spider Rose)
To describe this episode in a few words, I would use these terms: emotional, adorable, and WTF! It has everything – Love, Robot, and Death. Headlined by Emily O’Brien, this episode shows the protagonist is suffering from the grief of partner and is seeking ways to avenge him. In a deal, she trades off her crown jewel in exchange for an alien pet! But this adorable pet is much more than just a pet. The climax is shocking and keeps you hooked. Without a doubt, this would be in the top 2 for everyone.
Rank – 1 (Season 4, Episode 8 – How Zeke Got Religion)
To be honest, when the episode began, I was shocked by the title and was looking for its actual connection, but God, this episode packs a solid punch until the end!
This episode is set on the backdrops of World War 2, where a group of soldiers are planning to bomb a church in the Nazi base. But on the other hand, the Nazis are performing a black magic ritual to incarnate a powerful weapon in the form of demon!
What happens next is a pure gore fest and might be the goriest episode of this series ever. It is kind of similar to the episodes of Amazon Prime’s Invincible in terms of gory violence. The central theme of this episode is to believe in things that we cannot see. My personal favorite, as this ticks off all the boxes from storytelling to goosebumps to gory violence. The number 1 for me undoubtedly.
So, these were my rankings for all the episodes of Season 4 of Netflix’s Love Death and Robots. This season is a mixed bag, having its fair share of lows and highs, but it’s certainly worth checking out if you’re exploring a 2025 Netflix series that breaks the usual mold. If you’re into weird, experimental animation, and bold storytelling, this Netflix animated anthology still has a lot to offer.
