"Pantheon" is an animated series that explores philosophical and technical dilemmas surrounding uploaded intelligence, which results from scanning and uploading human brains to the internet. Despite being critically acclaimed for its storytelling and insight into the nature of humanity, the series faced challenges due to its original distribution on AMC+, a lesser-known streaming platform. This led to its cancellation after the first season, creating a hidden gem status. However, it has since gained traction after being picked up by Netflix, building a dedicated following.
Be sure to check out "The Gods Will Not Be Chained," the first in the series of Ken Liu short stories on which Pantheon is based, right here on Big Think.
"One of the best animated series I ever watched."
"Legitimately one of the best sci-fi shows of the past decade."
In addition to having a well-crafted, suspenseful, and heartfelt narrative about love and loss - thoughtfully engages with both the technical and philosophical questions raised by its cerebral premise.
