I’ve seen people recommending Pantheon a lot but I’ve never had a chance to watch it. It’s never been available for streaming on any of the services I have. But, the series will be added to Netflix tomorrow (Friday) in the US so I’ll finally get a chance to see it. I figured I’d share in case there are others who haven’t seen it.
As far as I know, it’s about people’s consciousnesses being uploaded to cyberspace. Sounds cyberpunk to me.
I’ve been an evangelist for this show all over lemmy because I’m desperate for people to talk about it with, lol. This is great news, I hope this will help it find a larger audience.
For those who don’t want to fork over the Netflix subscription fee, there’s always piracy. Given the anti-corporate themes of the show I doubt the writers would disapprove.
Edit: Just read that season 2 won’t be added to Netflix right away (or maybe at all) so yeah, piracy is required if you want to see the fantastic conclusion.
I watched the first episode, and it was a little underwhelming. I think I can guess what’s going on, and I suppose it might be interesting. I think it might suffer by comparison to a couple stories by Alastair Reynolds or Peter Watts tho. I’ma keep watching bc several of you here say it’s good, and also bc the original story is by Ken Liu who is legit.
Only the first season?? Well, crap. You’re right, I guess piracy will be the only way to finish the series.
