Jeremiah Episode Guide - Season 1
Showtime’s post-apocalyptic SciFi adventure series “Jeremiah” ran for two exciting seasons, ending early this year. For those of you who never got a chance to catch this series, it’s a J. Michael Straczynski (“Babylon 5”) creation set in a world where a virus wiped out the world’s adult population. Intriguing? Read on.
The oldest survivors of the “Big Death” must now struggle to re-create a civilization out of the mess that was left when the adults—and most of society’s collective knowledge—were wiped out. In the first season, the title character (played by “Beverly Hills 90210”’s Luke Perry) tried to locate a place called Valhalla, which his father had told him might hold hope for the young survivors. But when he met loner Kurdy (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), the two team up and discover a group of survivors at a military facility called Thunder Mountain. There, the two were enlisted to create peace among the warring survivor factions—and to stop the killer virus from returning.
