Jeremiah has an overall interesting plot and instead of doing what most other TV-shows in this genre would do by following a direct plot or story each episode generally focuses on a side story or a smaller story which ends up being developed later throughout the series. And most side-stories entwine with the main plot or at least they get developed later throughout the series. The acting is what you would call average at most with the protagonists being decent actors, but most of the stand in actors for episodes can sometimes seem odd and out of character. But the director seems to rely on the abundance of sex scenes to keep the show what he believes to be interesting. And they take the scenes far further than needed, and unlike other shows which imply things such as rape or sexual intercourse Jeremiah has a tendency to actually show the scenes happening and you can even sometimes see the tension between the actors. Overall it would of been far better without the constant reliance on sex or the pretentious script at times. FINAL SCORE: 5 OUT OF 10

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.

Although there are reasons that make this series not perfect, it shows a very humanistic view on the treatment of people and life. Based on graphic novels not really know by many, being from Europe, a lot of Americans don't know the source material. The actors do a great job and portray characters with faults, obsessions and desires. Sometimes cheesy but always developing the story I would recommend it to anyone especially the second season the story arcs pick up more meaning, and get more serious. I would suggest the series to anyone with a hope for society beyond the brutality inferred by other literature. Most of the actors do a great job creating characters that draw you into caring about the person even Lee who is pretty much an A-hole. It bridges a lot with life, religion and faith.

This was a great idea and could have worked well but for very bad dialog. I mean some of it was so pitiful that I was embarrassed to watch it. Traditionally, good acting can win out for a short time over bad writing, but the language was unrealistic in many of the exchanges between the characters, especially Ingrid Kavellars and Peter Stebbings. Moreover, the language was generally too sophisticated for the circumstances, which gave the characters, long deprived of any substantial education, a credibility they did not deserve. Then there was the character of Theo. The dialog was way over the top, and the acting was almost 70's TV drama style. This would have been okay if she were a minor character, but they chose to feature this bad image repeatedly and paid the price for it. Should we go into Byron Lawson's pathetic portrayal of Lee Chen as well. They did not deserve a second season, and I am surprised this was not cut the same as its predecessor Odyssey 5, which had equally bad writing but better acting. The list goes on in this genre that started with Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Lost in Space. I guess they cannot all be Stargate and BSG.
