The Big O's main theme is the nature of memories. A memory is a record of a thing or an event stored in the brain of an organism. But in Paradigm City, the "City of Amnesia", memories are much more. Memories are a precious thing and "can appear when you least expect them." Memories embody the lost knowledge of its citizens. Memories can take the form of records from before the Event, or forgotten artifacts of times gone by. Memories can manifest themselves as mere recollection, hallucinations or a recurring dream.
Season one is episodic, each Act presents how different citizens of Paradigm deal with the resurgence of these Memories and how they manage to go on living without knowledge of what did or did not happen. The season ends by introducing elements that will come into play during season two: the existence of people outside of Paradigm City, the book "Metropolis" written by Gordon Rosewater, the Cataclysm that destroyed the world and the "Power of God wielded by the hand of man."
Season two takes a more arc-based approach. Instead of self-contained stories like in season one, season two features an continuous storyline. This season makes Alex Rosewater, CEO of the Paradigm Corporation, a direct antagonist to The Negotiator and introduces The Union, agents of a foreign power working within Paradigm.
