5.0 out of 5 stars One Of TV's Best Attempts At Reality, Jun 3 2004
By 
Stan (New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jeremiah: The Complete First Season (DVD)
I never watched this show before I bought the DVD's. I know, a big gamble, but boy, it's been worth it! Jeremiah is a superb mix of harsh reality, character driven plot, great writing and fine acting that quietly immerses you into their world. And it doesn't hype its' warning message, "This may be our future". Disregard any review that's comparing this to other works. It stands alone. Unfortunately, it seems that the shows future is in jeopardy. Only the Good Die Young!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Show - what about the next season?, Jan 24 2007

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jeremiah: The Complete First Season (DVD)
I finally broke down and bought season 1 on DVD, I was waiting for Season 2 to be released, but gave up.
I am not sure if MGM plans on releasing the second season since it has now been 3 years since the release of season 1.
DVD Release Date: January 20, 2004.
It makes it a little hard to run out and buy the first season of a TV series, when your not sure if others seasons will ever be released.
P.S. This is a great series, well worth buying, even if you never get the next season.

I submitted the earlier part of this review in 2007 originally.
It now appears that Amazon.com will be selling the 2nd season using a manufactured on demand method. It is currently set to be released Mar 3, 2010.
So if you haven't already downloaded season 2, you maybe interested in picking up season 2 using this method.
It only took MGM 6 years, great job MGM, nice to know the consumer is important.

3.0 out of 5 stars Epic tragedy on the personal scale, Dec 20 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Jeremiah: The Complete First Season (DVD)
Jeremiah's world is one where self-interest comes all too often before simple human kindness, and hope is both rare and dangerous. Set in the not-too-distant future, "Jeremiah" is the the story of a world decimated by a mysterious virus that killed (almost) everyone above the "age of innocence."

The story picks up fifteen years after the end of the Big Death, and thrusts the viewer into a world in which every child grew up an orphan, without guidance, or constraint; a world where violence is a constant threat.

At it's worst, "Jeremiah" is occasionally clunky (note, for instance, the episode "Ring of Truth"). At it's prime, however, the show is excellent: exciting, thoughtful, violent, humourous, and heartbreaking in turn.

While there is an overall arc, my favourite episodes are those which deal with how this massive tragedy played out on the personal scale. I was fascinated by the way in which a world full of children grew into adulthood with nothing and no one to guide them but their memories, and the remnants of the old world. If characters arcs and world-building are what attract you to a show, "Jeremiah" provides plenty to mull over. When dealing with issues of gender, religion, and race, "Jeremiah" sometimes comes close to being preachy, but never completely crosses the line.

The show can sometimes be frustrating as it seems problems are often solved through pure, dumb luck. In the same vein, Jeremiah and Kurdy often find themselves in trouble due to the same--and by all too often blundering into situations where caution and diplomacy are warranted. That said, however, I enjoy Jeremiah and Kurdy's partnership enough that watching them get in and out of trouble isn't much of a hardship.

The political-military conspiracy can be frustrating for many of the same reasons. Neither Thunder Mountain nor Valhalla Sector make the best use of their resources, but the conflict between these two powers is sufficiently dramatic to make up for their questionable decisions.

Overall, "Jeremiah" is an entertaining series.

Be warned, however, that "Jeremiah" was canceled after it's second season. Moreover, the first season ends on a cliffhanger, which is all the more frustrating as season two has yet to be released on DVD.
