Love, Death & Robots Season 4: Overview of all the episodes

Love, Death & Robots is an animated anthology series on Netflix that mixes science fiction, horror, comedy, and fantasy. Each episode is its own short film with a different style, tone, and message.

Season 4 digs deeper into emotions. While past seasons were full of shocking visuals and dark humor, this one feels more personal, often centered around grief, love, and sacrifice.

Lydia, nicknamed "Spider Rose," is a lone asteroid miner in the future. Her husband was murdered by aliens, and she’s hell-bent on revenge.

While mining, she finds a priceless jewel. Planning to trade it for a powerful weapon, she instead meets an alien investor who offers her a weird, tentacled pet named Nosy.

Over time, Nosy becomes her friend, even imitating her. She stops taking drugs to numb her pain and begins to heal emotionally. It's like Nosy gives her a reason to feel again.

Her enemy, Jade Prime, attacks. Lydia defeats Jade but damages her ship’s life support. Knowing she’s dying, she sends Nosy out to survive. When the alien investor returns, Nosy has morphed to look like her. He takes Nosy and the jewel back, hinting he planned this all along. The story explores grief, revenge, and emotional rebirth.

Goltha to 400 Boys

In a live-action episode, Father Donal Maguire represents Earth in talks with the Lupo, a wise alien race investigating a miracle.

Blackfin, a dolphin that came back to life after an oil spill, is now worshipped by the Lupo as a holy figure. He shares Earth’s environmental horrors with them.

The Lupo declares war on humans, treating them like humans treat animals. The episode’s name, Goltha, is a play on Golgotha, the site of Jesus’s crucifixion. It’s a brutal reminder of how twisted blind faith and guilt can become.

Zeke and his team fly to destroy a Nazi-held church. They believe it’s full of occult activity, and they’re right.

A demon called "The Fallen" slaughters most of the team. Zeke fights back using a metal cross, the demon’s only weakness.

Once an atheist, Zeke now believes. This episode blends war, religion, and horror with a message: sometimes you need to see evil to believe in good.

In old London, Joffrey the cat protects his poet owner from Satan himself.

The poet is tricked into writing a poem that could end the world. Satan wants it delivered, but Joffrey has other plans.

Joffrey rallies a team of cats and distracts the devil while eating the cursed poem. Since the poet’s soul is inside the words, Joffrey now owns it. Cats 1, Satan 0.

In a sci-fi world, fighters ride dinosaurs in an arena to entertain royalty.

May wins but is forced to fight a T. Rex. Instead of dying, she tames it and launches an attack on the royals.

May and the T. Rex die together. As wolves run free outside the arena, we understand she finally found her “pack” in death.

Gangs rule a ruined world. Slash, a leader, teams up with rivals to fight a common enemy.

Yes, GIANT mutant babies. It’s violent, weird, and bloody.

After killing the last baby, Slash mutters, “Nothing ever ends.” A clear message: war is endless, just with different enemies.

Other large things to Smart appliances

Sanchez (aka Dingleberry Jones) plots to take over the world using robots and other cats.

He kills his owners, builds a robot army, and prepares for world domination. It’s darkly hilarious, a twisted cartoon for grown-ups.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers perform in puppet form. It’s bizarre, chaotic, and packed with energy.

There’s no deep plot, just a wild, sock-covered jam session that celebrates the band’s outrageous style.

Aliens land, hoping for peace. Humans panic and attack them.

The visuals look miniature, like a toy set. It’s a reminder that humans, in the grand scheme of the universe, are small-minded and self-destructive. The episode ends with Earth vanishing into a black hole.

Appliances come to life and complain about their dumb owners. Toasters, fridges, and TVs roast humans for their bad habits.

It’s the funniest episode, but the least meaningful. Just a goofy break before the emotional weight of the other stories returns.

This season isn’t just about blood and robots. It explores deep emotions, like grief, faith, and survival. It asks: What makes us human? And what does it take to let go?

While some fans may miss the over-the-top action of earlier seasons, Season 4 is arguably the most mature and emotional. It's not just about cool visuals; it's about the stories that stick with you.

Love, Death & Robots Season 4 proves once again that short stories can deliver a massive impact. From emotional space miners to talking cats, this season balances dark humor with deep storytelling. Whether you're here for the gore, the giggles, or the gut punches, Season 4 delivers on all fronts.
