Can Netflix's Love, Death & Robots set a trend for shorter episodes?

The longest episode of the David Fincher-produced Netflix adult animated anthology series is 17 minutes, while other episodes run less than eight minutes. Love, Death & Robots especially stands out when even half-hour sitcoms like Arrested Development are turning out bloated episodes that run about 50 minutes. "Love, Death & Robots' bite-sized programming tactic is a good one, never lingering too long on any one universe, on any one animation style," says Tom Philip. "Some of the short stories are very good...It's a binge-watch show, but in a new sense of the word. Puttering about, cleaning my room with the show playing on my TV, I got through three episodes. Imagine cleaning your room for the length of three rounds of House of Cards. I'd be living like Howard Hughes."
