Jeremiah

This show is really quite well done; every episode seems to fly by and leave you anticipating the next. L Perry & MJ Warner are a superb duo in this exciting post-apocalyptic tale. The show is done in such a way that the aftermath of the "Big Death" (a disease that was fatal to all those past puberty) seems plausible, even if the Big Death does not. If you have not watched this show, I highly recommend giving it a shot. You will not likely be disappointed.

I saw the first episode of Jeremiah by accident. I was trying to fix my broken down VCR when Jeremiah started screening on TV. I stopped what I was doing to watch what was happening on the TV. I liked what I saw and sat back and watched the first episode. From that moment I was hooked.

I'm a big sci-fi fan and I had no idea that Jeremiah was even a sci-fi show. It's just by luck I caught it on TV that night. Here in South Australia they have only just started screening the first season but I'm glad to see Jeremiah has made it into a second season. I look forward to seeing the rest of the season. I'm not familiar with the original comic book series Jeremiah was supposed to be based on therefore I do compare it to the comic book series. I take it on it's own merits and what I see, I like, enjoy and hope to see more. A good and enjoyable show.

Glad to see Luke Perry has moved beyond Beverly Hills 90210 (a show I only saw once or twice and despised everything about it. I always viewed 90210 as something of a joke)I never liked Luke Perry when he was starring in 90210 but the fact I like him in Jeremiah is testament to his talent. Luke has done well and I enjoy Jeremiah, hope to see it go on for awhile yet.

Jeremiah is an American and Canadian funded television show, set in the USA and follows the tale of an end of the world scenario. The main cast are survivors of such an disaster, as they fight to survive. Luke Perry is quite an actor in this show, and really gives a great endearing performance. There is also quite a varied Canadian cast to the show also, who really stand out and who portray their characters well. The premise is quite an original one, due to the fact the genre of post-apocalypse fiction and drama isn't really a big one. The characters draw you in, with their back stories before the disaster and you feel for their struggle to survive. If you are a fan of Jericho, BBC's Survivors, The Tribe or even The Walking Dead then Jeremiah is a great addition.

Wow. For anyone out there who is a die-hard sociological and/or post-Apocolyptic scifi fan, this series is for you. An excellent rendering of what, sadly, everyone calls a 'comic book,' this translation of a 'graphic novel' is captivating. The characters are believable, which makes the scenarios believable. Most importantly, we are drawn into the times, and we have heroes to root for. Jeremiah is intelligent and thought provoking, which will no doubt be unappealing to many. No, there are no fancy special effects, so that will disappoint many also, and every now and then we run into continuity questions, but the story-lines well make up for that. Luke Perry and Malcom-Jamal Warner deserve kudos for their acting skills (and made me forget their origins), as does anyone who plays a major or minor part in this series. For anyone who likes a good, intelligent story, a good drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat and rooting for good to best evil, you will relish this series. Yes, I gave it a 9 out of 10, as that is well-deserved.

I like this show overall. I've always been fond of post-Apocolyptic stories. But the problem I have is that some of the stories are hokey, and a lot of the content seems to be very implausible. If you watch closely, as I tend to do sometimes, much of the show relies on cheap action and drama. Compared to some of the other premium cable series, Jeremiah is very much lacking. Whereas Oz or Six Feet Under cater to an intelligent, sophisticated audience, Jeremiah's stories do not. I think a teenager would most appreciate this show.

P.S. Why does everyone seem to wear jackets with military insignia/stripes?
