What happens

Pantheon is an American adult animated science fiction drama television series created by Craig Silverstein and based on a series of short stories by Ken Liu. Set in a world where mind uploading technology is on the verge of mass adoption, it follows three protagonists: Maddie Kim (Katie Chang), a grieving teenager whose father was uploaded without her knowledge; Caspian Keyes (Paul Dano), a gifted teen unknowingly raised in a constructed environment; and Vinod Chanda (Raza Jaffrey), a brilliant computer engineer uploaded against his will. As they place themselves at the center of a global conspiracy, they also deal with societal consequences and existential crises brought about by rapidly evolving technology. The first season premiered on September 1, 2022, on AMC+. On January 8, 2023, the first season was removed from AMC+ and HIDIVE; and re-released on Amazon Prime Video with the second season in Australia and New Zealand on October 13, 2023. Since the show's release, it has received critical acclaim for its animation, voice acting, emotional and philosophical depth, as well as its portrayal of the singularity. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
