Jeremiah: Showtime freeview on DirecTV 6/21 - 6/23

If you're a DirecTV subscriber and a SCIFI fan, why not setup your TiVo's to record Jeremiah on Showtime?

I have become kinda hooked on this series, which I never would have watched if I didn't get the 6 free months of Showtime when I signed up for DirecTV last year.

J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5, is the executive producer of this series. It stars Luke Perry as Jeremiah and Malcolm-Jamal Warner (who is surprisingly good in this series).

The series is set 15 years in the future after a plague killed all of the adults, and the world was left to the pre-pubescent survivors who are now adults.

During the freeview, they are replaying the "Firewall" episode (the best so far IMO) where Jeremiah and crew capture an adult who somehow survived the plague. It's on SHO (channel 537) on 6/21 at 11:45 PM, and on SHOw (channel 540) on 6/22 at 2:45 AM.

I started out psyched about this series and my interest just faded. Has it improved? I just thought it slowed down, maybe I just expected it to be more action.

Some of the episodes haven't been the best.

Even so, the "Firewall" episode that they are replaying during the Showtime free weekend is the best one to date and kept me interested...

The two part season ending episodes are also supposed to be quite good.

I think this show has the potential to be a great series. Some of the episodes are slow, but they are building the world Jeremiah and company live in. This is much like Babylon 5, where the first season seemed a bit slow and uninteresting until you see how it built the foundation for everything that happened later. Hopefully Jeremiah will get the same opportunity Babylon 5 did to become a classic sci-fi series. If given the chance, I expect nothing less from a JMS series.
