NETFLIX -- ‘Love, Death + Robots’ Season 3 Serves Up Bite-Sized Sci-Fi Stories

May 17, 2022

Episode 9: “Mason’s Rats”

Director: Carlos Stevens Writer: Joe Abercrombie, based on a short story by Neal Asher Studio: Axis Studios

“When a Scottish farmer discovers the rats stealing his crops have started using tools, he turns to a series of increasingly deadly pest control solutions. Director Carlos Stevens wanted a war epic in the vein of Braveheart and Gladiator in miniature, and he delivers with this bloody yet somehow heartwarming episode. It’s a story about learning to adapt to change and finding a community where you least expect it.”
