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

I personally love post-apocalyptic shows and films, but this one just didn't do it for me.. It seems like they haven't decided if they wanted to make this for teens or adults, and ended up making a compromise. A new but weird take on the "apocalypse" with a world thats run by different kinds of militias and gangs, and even though its adult content shows us violence, murders, and some nudity, the whole setting and script just seems a little too dumbed down and frankly Macgyver inspired (not on the inventiveness but on the action) to really appeal to adults. I have to admit not seeing this series before I was 25, and maby if I saw it at a younger age I would have loved it. I'll recommend it for teenagers, but me myself found it a little too childish, and too unrealistic to really recommend it to fans of these kind of films/series. 6/10

The concept sounded interesting and appealing to me, so I decided to watch "Jeremiah". Sadly, everything that could have been good about the show, was ruined by terrible writing. I could have forgiven the show for all those clichés it included, the over-the-top characters and the stupid story lines, but it was the dialogue that really killed it for me. There is absolutely no subtlety here. Characters say things they would never say, just to get something across to the audience that the writers had no idea how to communicate otherwise. Just watch the first two episodes and you will see for yourselves. The acting isn't good, and the pacing is not well-done, either, but the writing is really frustratingly bad. There are multiple scenes in every single episode, which left me feeling embarrassed to watch it. I heard the second season is even worse, but I honestly couldn't make it that far. This show is cringe-worthy, mainly so because of horrible writing.

There have been plenty of post-apocalyptic movies and TV shows, and JEREMIAH stands out as a decent example of the genre. This brief series (two seasons) follows Luke Perry as Jeremiah who wanders around parts of what had been the U.S., trying to put things back together after a virus has wiped out most of humanity. He has to deal with all sorts of folks, including various bad guys who have decided that are now in charge. The show amounts to a sort of post-modern Western. Perry is quite convincing as an emerging leader in his typically understated way. Sean Astin is on hand for some episodes, and Malcolm Warner from The Cosby Show plays Jeremiah's closest ally. At times, it is painfully evident we're watching a low-budget Canadian-lensed show. But various plot twists and Perry's commanding presence keep things moving along.
