If you love web series but don't have the time to sit through multiple seasons, we've compiled a list of anthologies that are just as impressive. With great plots and engaging storylines, these shows tell the complete story in either one episode or one season. However, we must warn you that once you hit play, there is just no stopping.

'Love, Death & Robots', the animated anthology series explores possible future realities and the relationships between humans, robots, and humanoids. The hit series is a collection of short stories, no more than 15 minutes long, that blurs the lines between past, present, and future while covering genres ranging from fantasy, science fiction, mythology, horror, and comedy.
