So, Pantheon yeah, this show is a trip. I went in thinking it was just another AI gone wrong story, but it’s way more than that. It’s like someone took the concept of uploading consciousness and turned it into a deep dive into what it means to be human. The animation? Clean, professional, but not flashy. It lets the story breathe without overwhelming you with style. And the voice acting? Topnotch. Katie Chang, Paul Dano, Aaron Eckhart, they bring these characters to life in a way that makes you forget you’re watching a cartoon.
The plot kicks off with Maddie, a teenager dealing with grief and bullying, who starts receiving messages from her supposedly deceased father. Turns out, his consciousness was uploaded to the cloud by a shady tech company. And that’s just the beginning. The show weaves in global conspiracies, moral dilemmas, and philosophical questions that make you stop and think. It’s not just about tech it’s about identity, memory, and what happens when the line between human and machine blurs.
But here’s the kicker it’s not all doom and gloom. There’s a humanity to it that makes you care about these characters. You’re not just watching a sci-fi thriller; you’re watching people struggle with loss, identity, and the choices they make. It’s heavy, but in the best way.
The ending certainly blew me away, but at the same time felt like it was rushed, as there many plotlines that didn’t quite connect. So, if you’re into shows that make you think and feel, Pantheon is worth your time. It’s on Netflix now, just don’t expect a light watch it’s a journey.
