Excellent show overall. Season one was riveting, but season two felt rushed.

Would you say it's worth watching for someone who hates cancelled/rushed TV series?
I agree that season 1 is far more engaging but imo, that's mainly because the level of intrigue that I felt at the beginning of the story was insane — they were great at keeping that intrigue rolling in an interesting way. But that kind of mystery can only last so long, because it grows weaker as the audience learns more about the characters and world.
I think there was a part of me that felt disappointed by season 2 simply by the fact it couldn't give me what I felt during season 1, and actually, I wouldn't want that — the final episodes of a series shouldn't have the same kind of tension of the beginning of the story.
Overall, I'd say that season 1 is excellent (in particular, there were some visually impressive and stylish sequenced that I loved) — Riveting" was the word OP used. Season 2 is also decent. I don't recall it feeling rushed, and it does end decently.
Thanks for the comprehensive reply! Based on what the two of you have said, I think I'll check it out. I am mostly looking to avoid a repeat of The Man in the High Castle, which was one of the biggest wastes of time I've been unfortunate enough to sit through. The final season was so clearly rushed due to an impending cancellation and it was one of these shows where everything hinges on the final season, which just made the entire thing pointless when they were unable to stick the landing.
Very much worth a watch, this show is pretty unique. It does complete its story arcs, so you will not get frustrated by that if that is your worry.
This looks like a pretty fun show. I'm adding it to my plan to watch list. Thanks.
Pantheon deserved better.
I wouldn't ever have known it existed if I didn't find the first season on aniwave of all places...
When you want to download a show only to realise you already have it :(
OHMMM
