What did I just watch.

Did anyone else have a full-blown panic attack after finishing this series? Just me? I’m a very big cinema fan, and I have a habit of getting too immersed in visual media, as a disclaimer. I have never, as far as I can remember, had such a visceral and out-of-body reaction to a narrative like I have with Pantheon. I lead with my emotions, so I got very attached to the characters of this show and the simple but complex story that was being told throughout season 1 and half of season 2. I really immersed myself into the story and its characters. The show did such a great job at making the characters feel real, and even the situations, even though the premise is fiction. I could never have expected the ending. I didn’t really give it much thought because I didn’t want to spoil it for myself.

After the last two episodes of this show, I just don’t know what to feel. It feels like everything around me just crumbled apart, and I know that sounds dramatic, but the ending didn’t just feel like the ending of a normal show for me. And yes, I tend to have a more passionate sentiment towards these things, but it was more than just feeling very upset that a show I loved finished. I truly felt like my mind was collapsing. I was questioning everything I ever knew, yet feeling completely stupefied. I’m still feeling speechless right now, and that’s why I can’t properly articulate how I feel about this show. There are many things I want to say and ask, but with nowhere to channel them, so for now, I just want to know if anyone’s feeling how I’m feeling because… just wow. That’s all I can say is WOW.
