Killed by really bad writing

TonyCamonte84

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.

score 4/10
