One fan tweeted that they were mad about being excited for the show’s grand return.

Another fan tweeted that they felt their standards were too high after the first season that they felt was better.

Disappointed in Love, Death and Robots volume 2. My expectations may have been too high but that’s just because how spectacular volume 1 was! The animation styles in volume 2 are gorgeous and amazing. The stories, however, are not great. At least not as great as volume 1.

Alternatively, a professional critic who reviewed Love, Death & Robots positively, tweeted that they, unlike the majority of viewers, felt the second season was better than the first.

I was very genuinely surprised at how much better this season of Love, Death & Robots was and how unlike last season it didn't just rely on tiddies

That being said, I want more robotshttps://t.co/9KOtYaXjOk
