Pantheon

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 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.

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.

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 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.
