Love Death + Robots is a collection of animated shorts that surround three key subjects: love, death, and robots.
The third season premiered in May 2022 and it includes Mielgo’s return to the series after winning an Emmy for his 2019 episode, “The Witness”.
“Jibaro” follows the strange but deadly attraction between a siren and a deaf knight who is immune to her supernatural charms.

The two become obsessed with each other for selfish reasons, which leads to disastrous results.
Instead of the traditional siren from Greek mythology, Mielgo based the siren on the folklore of many different countries.
Is love death and robots NSFW?
One peculiar thing to note about Love Death and Robots is that it is extremely NSFW (not safe for work).
Most especially, season 1 of the series really pushes the graphic nudity and extreme violence with 18 shorts that are pretty dang long.
