I started the animated series Pantheon on Netflix and it’s really good so far. It has to do with a company that has developed the technology to upload a human brain onto a mega computer. Uploaded Intelligence as opposed to Artificial Intelligence. One major limitations of the tech is that it kills the human body because it literally burns away the brain layer by layer while each cell is digitally replicated. One of the developers of this tech volunteered to test it in its early phases because he had a terminal diagnosis. It was assumed to have failed, but that may not be the case.

It’s smart despite the outlandish premise. I’m 2 episodes in and it feels more like a slow burn mystery than most animated shows. There are multiple characters that get focus even though they don’t clearly connect to each other yet. Most characters behave realistically too instead of just in service to the plot.

I did read that the two seasons available tell a complete story and it’s generally regarded as having a satisfying conclusion, so that’s reassuring.
