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.

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.

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.

This show is smart, emotional and entertaining. There are a few interconnected side stories going on that make me excited to figure out the big picture.

I noticed there are so many details and small moments that reflect our real modern life. Genuine uses of technology in daily life byt things that I have never seen shown before in film or television. These small touches made the story feel grounded in reality even though it is science fiction in the end. Highly recommend the show so far (2 episodes). Also cool to see the dedication to William Hurt. I did not know that he had worked on the show before his death. RIP.

This show deals with heady sci-fi concepts in a way that is fully grounded in relatable human drama. The soundtracking, art style, voicing and pacing are all completely on point. It also incorporates a lot of digital imagery and connects with the online world a fair bit.

With that ground start, we can expect it to go deeper down the rabbit hole as it goes. Honestly excited for every new episode.

I won't spoil what the central premise is, you just have to watch to find out. BTW, isn't this new 600 character requirement a joy to deal with lol? Anyway, 9/10 really quality stuff, and I don't normally go for animation.

The show has great animation with an equally great storyline filled with suspense and intriguing mysteries. Pantheon is a show that deals with artificial intelligence, conspiracies, and what it means to be human, and it does all through interconnected storylines with Maddie, a girl dealing with the loss of her father, who worked in computer technology and Caspian, a hacker who spends most of his time on the internet looking up mysteries to distract from his dysfunctional family life. That's all that can be said because it's one of those shows that needs to be seen for oneself to see how amazing it is. My only wish is that AMC advertised the show more so general audiences would know about it.

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.

Watch the first episode and I was like "there is something there, I want to keep going" but clearly I wasn't expecting how great this show is.

Not only it is totslly relevant to the time we live in and the rise of AI but it is also a damn great story that hits it on the nail and won't leave you unscaved.

Prepare for a rollercoaster full of action, emotions and mind bending moments a la Interstellar. I truly believe this is a must watch and probably one of the very best show I ever watched (certainly the best animation series).

This show will stay with you long after you watched it and you even might want to return to it to pick-up on new things. On top of that the voice talent is on point from start to finish and the animation great.

Can't recommend this strongly enough, whatr are you doing still reading this? Go and watch Pantheon instead!

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 saw this as a 16-episode (45 minutes each) series. It starts off slow, almost boring, then becomes very interesting very fast. It carries the plot and story all the way through, having numerous twists and turns as the story unfolds. This is one of those series that actually needs to be 16 episodes long to tell the entire story. Everything in the series held up well, was well-written and excellently produced.

But then we get down to the very final, 16th episode... and the storyline becomes very complex and convoluted. It's not impossible to follow what's going on, but it just seems way out of sync with the rest of the series. Things start moving very quickly (literally), too much happens all at once, and normal characters very suddenly become very not-normal characters.

The result is a show that many will proclaim to be brilliant cerebral science fiction, but for me simply tried to cram far too much into the last episode and thereby somewhat derailed the series. I found the final episode contrived and disappointing, bombarding the viewer with too much too fast and expecting the viewer to simply ride the roller coaster. The final part of the ride is too full of itself. They needed to slow the roller coaster down quite a bit and deliver a less-uber-existential conclusion.

This show occasionally has some of the most beautiful writing I've ever seen in an animated series. Other times, it's painfully ordinary.

What I mean by that is, "Pantheon" begins as a highly compelling character drama imbued with Sci-Fi elements from theoretical computer science. I immediately fell in love with it, and this series continued to deliver-episode after episode. However, at a certain point in season 1, it begins to pivot.

When the virtual world becomes a more prominent component of the series, it gave writers the freedom to pretty much write any sequence of events from an imaginary standpoint. This led to an immense number of action scenes, and this remains rampant for roughly 9 episodes in a row. Given that Pantheon is two seasons and a total of 16 episodes, this action becomes part of its identity.

Don't get me wrong, I have no opposition towards action scenes or fantasy. It was animated quite well, given their budget. But this series was previously a really eloquent character drama. That's what made me binge it, and I missed that. Problems were solved through a thought-out series of events, and then it just becomes "my energy blast is stronger than yours", which feels like a betrayal. For 9 episodes, Pantheon is comparable to your average superhero show or movie.

However, the last two episodes of season 2 were once again interesting. I enjoyed it quite a lot and commend the writers for pulling it off. I still prefer the first six episodes of season 1, but the ending of season 2 was a pivot I welcomed with open arms. Had it not been for those two episodes, I would have given this series an overall 8/10, instead a 9.

We need more series like Pantheon and they need to be supported. While it has its flaws, it's still better than a vast majority of 'live-action' television series.

(8.6875/10) Season 1 (10/10) episodes 1-5 Season 1 (8/10) episodes 6-8 Season 2 (7.5/10) episodes 1-6 Season 2 (10/10) episodes 7-8.

Crisp animation. Intriguing storyline, sorta like a mix of Transcendence and a Black Mirror episode. The coder logic so far is also on point, the writers definitely did their research. Excited to see how this series takes off, from the teaser it definitely seems to go to some wild places in later episodes. The first 2 episodes are still deeply rooted in reality, and I have faith in the source material from Ken Liu and his ability to create intelligent science fiction.

The cast of voice actors are also very talented, so happy to see William Hurt attached to it as well (RIP). His role as Professor Hobby in A. I was very memorable and coincidentally was one of the first movies to ignite my love for the sci-fi genre.

Wow! Okay... As a tech-savvy nerd in 18-25 demo with a tight grip on a lot of this stuff, they do it right and are EXTREMELY faithful to trans-humanist philosophies and where it's all going. IP address locations, technological relays, Address and Location Spoofing, InfoSec Stuff(Attack Types like DDoS, Incident Response Handling and the like), AI, ML algorithms and all the kinks of how chemical and neurological processes occur... Everything!!! Like "Ghost In The Shell(1992)"/"The Matrix"/ "Serial Experiments Lain"/ "Blade Runner"/"Black Mirror"-esque design-space and don't treat the audience like idiots by talking down or making totally fake background stuff... All of it is dark, but hyper-realistic bleak future vibes coming off of it too. Excellent job, and just like Oh My God. Great Job *CLAP CLAP CLAP*. Dark Spoiler twist though would kinda suck though.

I just finished this show like 5 mins ago (both seasons). And OMFG what a show! Please for the love of everything watch this damn show! This was an epic tale about technology and friendship, but at the end of everything it is a tale about true love and the bonds that hold everyone together.

(This 600 word thing is a little annoying). What can I saw without giving away some of the plot and story.

Season 1 is pretty good. After watching that, I'd rate this show a 9/10, but after season 2 (again OMFG) this show easily gets a 100, 000/10 stars from me.

It was just beautiful!

I'll see y'all in about 100, 000 years.

Just finished watching it and just WOW, it's mind-blowing! The story is incredibly well-thought-out, the animation is stunning, and the voice acting is top-notch. It's been ages since I've enjoyed a show this clever, well-written, and perfectly paced. Not a single dull moment in both seasons-truly a masterpiece of sci-fi.

This show took me by surprise; it's one of the best shows that isn't getting enough attention. Brilliant from the first minute to the grand finale, and the final episode was my favourite. It stands out as fantastic and just gets better the more you watch it.

Highly recommend it to anyone who loves sci-fi, especially if you're into the idea of uploaded intelligence. Check it out!

"Pantheon" stands as a masterclass in science fiction storytelling, elevating the well-worn concept of digital consciousness to unprecedented heights. While shows like "Black Mirror" and "Altered Carbon" have explored similar territory, "Pantheon" distinguishes itself through its methodical, grounded approach to the technological singularity.

What's particularly remarkable is how the series creates a world that feels indistinguishable from our own. The corporate politics, international relations, and human reactions to transformative technology are portrayed with stunning realism. Unlike many sci-fi narratives that require substantial suspension of disbelief, "Pantheon" presents a world where every decision, reaction, and consequence feels eerily plausible. From the way tech companies compete and manipulate public opinion to how governments respond to emerging threats, the show's "model of reality" rings absolutely true.

The series begins with a deceptively simple premise: a daughter discovering her deceased father's consciousness has been digitally preserved. From this intimate starting point, the story expands into a profound exploration of what it means to be human in an age where consciousness can be quantified and uploaded. What sets "Pantheon" apart is its commitment to following the logical consequences of its central premise while keeping the human drama front and center.

One of the show's most remarkable achievements is its sophisticated integration of religious and spiritual themes. Rather than treating religion as an antagonist to technology or falling into heavy-handed metaphysical preaching, "Pantheon" weaves existential and religious concepts seamlessly into its narrative. The show's very title hints at this depth, but it's the thoughtful way it explores concepts of soul, transcendence, and eternal life through a technological lens that truly impresses. It raises profound questions about consciousness and the divine without ever feeling didactic or losing its grip on the human story at its core.

The choice to tell this story through animation proves inspired. The medium allows for seamless transitions between physical and digital realms while maintaining an emotional authenticity that live action might struggle to achieve. The animation style, with its subtle blend of realism and stylization, perfectly captures both the mundane aspects of everyday life and the mind-bending possibilities of digital existence.

Where other shows might be content to use digital consciousness as a plot device, "Pantheon" delves deep into the philosophical, ethical, and practical implications of such technology. The series asks uncomfortable questions: What happens to human relationships when death becomes optional? How does immortality affect the human psyche? What are the societal implications of corporations having the power to digitize human consciousness?

The show's greatest strength lies in its ability to balance high-concept science fiction with deeply personal stakes. Through the story of Maddie, we explore universal themes of loss, connection, and identity. The series never loses sight of its emotional core, even as it expands its scope to address global implications and existential threats.

Unlike "Black Mirror's" often cynical view of technology or "Altered Carbon's" cyberpunk spectacle, "Pantheon" takes a more nuanced approach. It neither demonizes technological progress nor naively celebrates it, instead presenting a complex examination of how humanity might navigate the challenges and opportunities of digital transcendence.

The series also excels in its world-building, introducing concepts and technologies that feel both revolutionary and eerily plausible. The attention to detail in depicting how digital consciousness might actually function and integrate with the physical world sets a new standard for science fiction storytelling.

If there's any criticism to be made, it's that the show's dense plotting and complex themes might be challenging for casual viewers. However, this complexity is also its strength, rewarding attentive viewing with rich philosophical discussions and character development.

"Pantheon" represents the best of what science fiction can achieve: a thought-provoking exploration of transformative technology that never loses sight of the human heart beating at its center. It's not just another entry in the digital consciousness genre; it's a landmark achievement that raises the bar for intelligent science fiction storytelling.

10/10.

It is brilliant, impactful, and very well done. It was a great surprise for me, and I can't wait to watch more. So far the 4 episodes are top notch, and dialog is not wasted. It is all well written, and the cast is so well done. The pacing is also well done, and it has some mystery to discover. I can't wait to see what comes next, and I recommend this for anyone who enjoys a bit of science and mystery. I gave it a 10 for the mere fact it is better written than a majority of the TV shows on all streaming platforms. It simply goes to show that if you don't force creativity it will come naturally and that is what makes this anime so easy to digest. No agendas, no forced identity pushing, just simple story telling.

Interesting show with interesting plot and nice animation. But what's up with the sound quality. It keeps changing. One second it's clear and another second it's super muffled.

I can't tell if it's supposed to be on purpose or not but something definitely doesn't feel/sound right to me.

It's really bothering me how inconsistent the sound is. I'm only up to episode one and I'm not sure I can continue watching if the sound is going to be this bad throughout.

And I know I'm not going crazy because I'm on the internet on my TV with no buffering and the video quality is perfect so it's definitely not a streaming issue.

Anyone else experiencing this??

This is one of the most mind-bending shows I've ever watched. Whether it was live action, animated, or CGI, it wouldn't make any difference.

I am a fan of animated shows, but not necessarily the anime/cyberpunk style that some recent shows have adopted in the last few years. The storyline is so immaculate that I didn't even think twice about it. By the end of episode 2 I was completely hooked.

This show is made for people that want a high-level, intricately detailed and technical sci-fi experience on subject matter that is definitely in the works in 2025.

Although we may be decades away from seeing this narrative actually come to fruition, the show makes this seem so realistic and inevitable as the next evolution in the book of humanity.

This show joins a long list of shows with immense potential...but fails in the execution...

but still its very painful and sad to see...such great story be desecrated disrespected mishandled...it's just annoying and frustrating...

the hardest part about creating a tv show...is finding the initial idea...the actual story...what story will you tell...so when you find stories like these...rich stories...it's really sad to see them go to waste...

the hard part is already done for you...just actualize it...find good writers who can pen down a decent script...it's not that hard surely!

The most annoying thing about this show...is how it just goes round in circles...it's never going anywhere...it takes three steps forward in plot...and the next 20 scenes is just it taking another 5 steps backward...

it's also guilty of trying to shoe in cliffhanger every episode...this trope is soooo annoying!!...we're soo past this as a civilisation jesus!!...the audience is tired of this!...just tell the story let it flow naturally...don't set anything up...you tend to write yourself into a corner that way...

wasted potential...

(NOTE: Watch season 2 on YouTube, its not on Netflix for some reason) I've never reviewed a tv show in my life(watched probably over a 100 at this point) but this one absolutely blew my mind, especially the last episode. I just finished it and I'll probably have an existential crisis for a week, but it's absolutely worth watching this masterpiece.

The initial concept isn't unheard of(uploading human intelligence to archieve immortality and more) but the execution is brilliant. Season 2, especially the last couple episodes seem a bit rushed but I believe that's cause the show got cancelled and the writers were rushed to cram in the story to tie of the loose ends, but boy oh boy did they do a amazing job, covering covering futuristic sci-fi, emotion, action and mind bending philosophy.

This is something Christopher Nolan would be proud of. 100% recommended if you're into sci-fi.

This was a spectacular show that surpassed my expectations, especially in the season finale episode. It went from 9/10 to a 100/10!

The ideas presented in here, are the products of decades of philosophical debates about the quality of the human existence.

I have experienced similar ideas only in the books of Philip K. Dick.

Anyone who loves quality science fiction regardless of the medium, MUST watch this show.

The animation was good, the voice talents were excellent, but the script, the ideas are those, that really make you think and theorize and hope and damn your existence for not living 100000 years later.

Well, I can always hope...
