Pantheon

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 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.

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.

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.
