The basic premise:<\/p>\n<p class=\"block\">Set in the future, the series focuses on Jeremiah (Luke Perry) who must navigate his way through a world populated by the survivors of a deadly epidemic that spared only those who had not yet reached puberty. Now those same survivors must find their way in a decadent civilization and attempt to create a new world order of hope. <br \/>\nJeremiah, a loner by nature, is joined by the na\u00efve yet colorful Kurdy (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) on a quest to find the mysterious &#8220;Valhalla Sector&#8221;. Together they set out on a journey during which they discover rival social factions at war and young people who must make decisions without wisdom from those who lived before them.<\/p>\n<p>So, a classic &#8220;differerent world&#8221; sort of episodic TV sf show, with plenty of JMSsy goodness.  <\/p>\n<p>Has any regular reader here actually seen the thing?
