The best anthological series to look at Netflix

Anthology literally means “choice of flowers”, from the Greek ánthos, ‘Fiore’ plus the theme of légō, that is ‘Choose’ and is to indicate, metaphorically, the most beautiful selection of works that go to compose a collection. The anthologies, however, not only exist in literature but also in the serial world and very often the directors and the screenwriters opt for this particular type of story that favors the short stories that begin and end in the same episode and must not necessarily be linked to the others of the collection in which they are part. There are several anthological series that enrich the Netlix catalog but which are the most beautiful? What are those capable of capturing more attention and getting into imaginary worlds from which we would no longer want to go out? Here is our choice of “most beautiful flowers”.

Black Mirror

How not to put one of the most revolutionary series ever in the first place in the ranking of the best anthological title of Netflix.

Love, Death and Robots

And how not to insert the irreverent Love, Death and Robots in this collection. The animated series of Netflix who followed in some ways in the footsteps of Black Mirror but with the difference of having chosen the short history and animation as a narrative structure. Brevity, you know, allows you not to get lost in excessive digressions and useless rhetoric but to concentrate all the sense of a story in a few minutes and after all they do not always serve hours to be able to give a message or outline a character and its character. And then there is the animated world that leaves the fantasy the infinite space it needs to expand and let go without any limit or blockage given by the rules of the reality we know. Thus, taking advantage of all the potential of the imagination and brevity of story Love, Death & Robots for three years to imagine the future and make us think about reality. Some episodes more than others, however, affect for their genius and should be seen, or revised, as soon as possible. Here are.
