2) It takes seriously the technical discussions. One scene has a father/son discuss a concurrent programming problem, and it is a realistic problem, and they come up with a couple interesting solutions.

We'll see how it progresses, but am enjoying it so far.
Just finished season 1 of The Pantheon and I thought it was spectacular. Carefully crafted storyline, doesn't dumb anything down, delves into some philosophical existential ideas, and a great emotional ending with a set up for season 2. Honestly, surprised Ive heard nothing about this show before chancing upon it on Netflix. A real hidden gem.

Season 2 doesn't seem to be on any of my streaming services but hopefully it gets added to Netflix soon.
