The story
Terrifying creatures, wicked surprises and dark comedy converge in this NSFW anthology of animated stories presented by Tim Miller and David Fincher.
What it’s like
Anthology of short animated episodes, each with its own style: photoreal CGI, painterly 2D, stylized cel-shading, and moody neon-soaked digital worlds, so the look shifts from one episode to the next. Sci-fi cityscapes glow in acid neon and rain-slick chrome, while other episodes lean into flat, saturated cartoon colour or dense, ash-grey apocalyptic landscapes. Camera moves are often sweeping and kinetic, with fast cuts in action sequences and lingering, carefully framed shots in quieter moments. The score and sound design lean on synth pulses, industrial clatter, and sudden silences that make the jolts land. Vibe: slick, irreverent, and unsettling, a mix of dark comedy and bleak romance. It suits a late night in with friends or a solo binge when you want something visually inventive in short, self-contained bursts. Intensity is high: graphic gore, dismemberment, and brutal violence are frequent, with explicit sexual content and nudity in several episodes, and some stories are genuinely grim or cruel. This is not a gentle watch. It is for viewers who enjoy adult animated sci-fi, shock-tinged horror, and stylistic variety, and who are comfortable with mature content.
