The similarity is every episode they are different styles but they have robot factors in it.
Some of it don’t see obvious in there but it still has this factor in the TV series.
There are 18 stores but each episode has diffeerent story and different style. It is kind of experimental production for them. they bought the script and distributed to 5-6 animation studios.

Each story is very interesting., It doesn’t take you a long time to watch one and you still find something interesting from it.
It takes on the black mirror formula. It uses science fiction to say something. Maybe in the future something like that, not holding back on sex nudity and violent. I recommend the first one and witness. If you are Scifi fiction you are not surprised by the story but the style of it is interesting. There is one called … it kinds of happen in the space and this one is my favorite one. But the story itself is interesting. Short and interesting and produced by 2 famous directors.

I watched it at the beginning and I want to watch it second time and I feel something is missing, they just cut it because the whole scene is related to sex so it disappeared.

I think for Netflix it is the first time they ask for different boutique studios to produce it.
