28. Jeremiah

Jeremiah was on Showtime's Sci-Friday lineup back in the day. Basically the "adults screwed up and now young adults have to rebuild after a global pandemic" trope, which has been done to death. Still, I liked it and wish it had gone more than 2 seasons. Rewatching it from time to time I cringe at some of the slang and attitude, but in a good way.

In the same vein, I really liked Jericho as well. Not sure how realistic it was in terms of the impacts of a nuclear weapons detonations in the US, but... I found the dynamics of the relationships between families, towns and ultimately fledgling nations to be very interesting. Eventually, you have to work with someone else. No one is an island and being in conflict with everyone you fear doesn't guarantee success. Also the first show I saw featuring Lennie James, who became one of my favorite TV actors.

I liked The Walking Dead, pretty much right up until they left Herschel's farm. Liked Fear the Walking Dead much better. Best zombie movie award goes to the original "Dawn of the Dead.' Social commentary, camp and bad special effects makeup mixed together is a potent drink. Hare Krishna zombies. Genius!
