Pantheon, a sci-fi animated series, has landed on Netflix and the second season is landing in just a few days.
The first series has a 100% perfect score on entertainment ratings site Rotten Tomatoes, which is unique in itself.
In the show, bullied teen Maddie begins receiving messages from a mysterious stranger that claims to be her recently deceased father, David.
His consciousness has been uploaded to the cloud after an experimental brain scan, and it turns out he’s not the only one.
Meanwhile, Caspian Keyes, a troubled yet highly intelligent teenager has been raised unaware that he lives in a constructed environment and is constantly monitored to one day fulfil a special purpose.
When the pair meet they decide to aid each other in searching for the truth.
However, Vinod Chanda, an engineer from the India-based Alliance Telecom company is kidnapped by his corrupt boss and scanned.
With help from previous victims, Chanda escapes his virtual prison and goes rogue.
With Maddie and Caspian stuck in the middle, a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war.
The show stars Katie Chang, Paul Dano, Aaron Eckhart and Lost’s Daniel Dae Kim.
And viewers have loved the show with one stating: “Watching “Pantheon” is like reading “Neuromancer” for the first time.
“I found myself totally engrossed in the world and story, and eager to find out what happens to both the main and supporting characters.”
Another added: “Wow, this is arguably the best sci-fi of 2020s. With the potential to go down in history and be something truly special.
“With clunky yet still clean visuals, great music, and top notch writing.”

A third agreed: “This series is absolutely thrilling in every episode. For those who think that live action is always better than anime/cartoon, think again.
“I don’t think that this series could be done good enough on live action, especially some of the UI thing.”
“This show is smart, emotional and entertaining. There are a few interconnected side stories going on that make me excited to figure out the big picture.
“I noticed there are so many details and small moments that reflect our real modern life.
“Genuine uses of technology in daily life but things that I have never seen shown before in film or television.”
“I found myself being hooked in just minutes into the show and I can’t remember the last time that happened and I can’t seem to get enough after just two episodes.
“The plot, the style, the writing, the characters, the overall atmosphere, the twists and the intrigue is just top-notch.
“Finally a show with proper writing with proper dialogue, no politics or forced social policies for the sake of pleasing mainstream media, investment sources and rating agencies, just brilliant storytelling” added another.
The second season will be available on Netflix on 21 February.
