Pantheon

Wow, this is arguably the best sci-fi of 2020s. With the potential to go down in history and be something truly special. With clunky yet still clean visuals, great music, and top notch writing.

Easily one of my favorite western animations, and one that I truly looked forward to and was waiting to one day call it a masterpiece.

But they had to go ahead and kill it.

And I don't just mean "not make more"

they actually killed the series. They are not only NOT releasing the already finished. I repeat, ALREADY FINISHED, season 2, they also removed season 1 from their streaming platform to not have to pay the creators going forward.

That is absolutely horrible and an insult to everyone involved. Hope this show gets bought by a company that deserves it.

Watching "Pantheon" is like reading "Neuromancer" for the first time - I found myself totally engrossed in the world and story, and eager to find out what happens to both the main and supporting characters. Few movies, series, or books can do that for me (looking at you, "LoTR RoP").

While the animation could be better, I'm willing to overlook it because the story is simply that good. Compared to, for example, Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd GIG, whose later episodes had really good graphics but lacked in storytelling and character development, Pantheon is so much more thought-provoking and philosophical.

I never read the short stories by Ken Liu on which this series is based, but given that the author has a producer credit, I am confident that the entire series will be excellent. Without giving spoilers, for me what stood out is that the technology described in Pantheon is very much plausible - given some more years of research. But as Isaac Asimov said, "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."

That, I think, encapsulates nicely the series. If you enjoy cyberpunk or apocalyptic stories, then I'm sure that you'll enjoy Pantheon.

Pantheon, Created by Craig Silverstein. With Paul Dano, William Hurt, Taylor Schilling, Lara Pulver, if given enough time and patience, the vast web of the overlapping ideas in "Pantheon" might solidify into a deeply satisfying sci-fi story. The intersection of technology and humanity has been a theme of fiction, film, and even television for generations now. A well animated show with a very good storyline. One of the only shows that I've enjoyed on AMC+. Some of them episodes struggle a bit with the occasionally over-written slice of dialogue about what it means to be a human being.'Pantheon' Brings Sci-Fi Nightmare to Vivid Life.

I found myself being hooked in just minutes into the show and I can't remember the last time that happened and I can't seem to get enough after just two episodes.

The plot, the style, the writing, the characters, the overall atmosphere, the twists and the intrigue is just top-notch, finally a show with proper writing with proper dialogue, no politics or forced social policies for the sake of pleasing mainstream media, investment sources and rating agencies, just brilliant storytelling.

I won't include any details about the show, I really see no point in that, all I will say is this, give it a shot, you will not regret and I can't wait for more episodes.

This series is absolutely thrilling in every episode. For those who think that live action is always better than anime/cartoon, think again. I don't think that this series could be done good enough on live action, especially some of the UI thing.

Our protagonist Maddie, a common high school girl and Caspian, a college boy who's a software prodigy, are not superheroes. They have flaws but they're not not stupid either. They tried to find out (as we as the audience too) what's really going on with their lives, especially Caspian after the 4th episode. It's going to get really interesting following Caspian's storyline. So get your pop corn and enjoy the show, every Thursday night!

Amazing 9/10.
