Pantheon focuses on Maddie, a bullied teen who receives mysterious help from someone online. The stranger is soon revealed to be her recently deceased father, David, whose consciousness has been uploaded to the Cloud following an experimental destructive brain scan. David is the first of a new kind of being: an "Uploaded Intelligence" or "UI", but he will not be the last, as a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war.

Probably one of the best sci-fi shows created in the last few decades. It's smart, deep and engaging.

If you haven't tried it, you are missing out.

I'm part way into season 2, it's fantastic.

I really enjoyed it aswell.

So glad we actually got to see the second season, since it originally got canceled after the first one despite it apparently already being completed at the time.

Neat. I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks for sharing.

I did try it but tapped out pretty early in the first episode. Not in a "this is bad" way, but more in that I felt really uncomfortably out of the target audience. That kind of school experience was pretty alien to me even when I was a kid and as an adult it's only gotten less relatable.

I almost did the same, but after the second episode I was hooked, the school drama aspect is not the focus in later episodes.

Good to hear, I was wondering this too, it was a strange mix in the first episode as some of the themes seemed pretty adult.
