Product Description:
A stunning sci-fi epic that re-envisions the future of mankind, this top-rated, action-packed original series is "intriguing" (Associated Press), "fascinating" (Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel) and "deep and intense" (Science Fiction Weekly)! Luke Perry ("Beverly Hills 90210," "Oz") stars as Jeremiah, one of the many young survivors of the "Big Death" that claimed the lives of every adult in the world 15 years ago. Now forging his way through a bleak wilderness fraught with danger and conspiracy, Jeremiah and his most trusted friend, Kurdy (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), are plunged into thrilling adventures that test every facet of their humanity…and ultimately the fate of the human race itself!
Customer Reviews:
 Peter Pan's Lost Boys with Guns, 2008-11-30
"Jeremiah" is set in an alternate universe where everyone is blessed with a crystal clear memory of their early childhood years and a complete blank of what transpired between the ages of 12 and 27.
The premise is that 15 years prior to the show a virus wiped out every living human being over the age of thirteen. Left without parental guidance, electricity, television, movies or anything else, the orphaned children of the world spend the next 15 years eating canned food and killing one another - and somehow finding time to study history, read classic books and become wise and worldly and startlingly eloquent.
Still, if you can manage to get past the notion that children left to their own devices would spend a decade and a half bettering themselves as human beings in between moping about how much they miss their parents and how unfair life is, if you can look beyond the unnatural dialogue and typical Straczynski preachiness, it's pretty watchable, thoughtless entertainment. As an added bonus, you get Theo Huxtable and Dylan Walsh strutting around like they're oh-so-bad, which has some unintended comic relief to the otherwise straightforward plots which occasionally club you over the head with their "hidden meaning".
Watch it if you're a big fan of end-of-the-world settings. Skip it if you consider yourself to have any sort of standards.
