Summary

When Bender dies, his disembodied software haunts the Planet Express building.

Our Take

The robot-ghost premise sounds like a one-joke episode, and honestly it mostly is, but Bender’s commitment to being terrible even after death keeps it watchable. The Robot Devil stuff is genuinely funny. The murder-mystery angle wears thin by the third act though. Fine if you’re already watching the season, not worth seeking out on its own.
