Snowflake - Day 8

[prisca]

In your own space, promote at least one canon that you adore (old, new, forever fandom).

Well, it's obvious that I can't promote 'The Faculty' here, because all I write is actually AU = a relationship between Casey and Zeke never happened in the movie itself. (Someone should make a sequel to correct this ;) )

So I decided to go for two fandoms.
1. Jeremiah (TV)
I started to watch this show with season two only because of Sean Astin, who plays Mr. Smith. A very mysterious guy who insists on being God's messenger. It's obvious that I still love him, but I also like the plot of the show (there is a main story, especially in the second season, but also stand-alone episodes), so that I re-watch the show now and then, starting with season one.

The story takes place in a dystopian world. A virus killed all adults about 15 years ago, leaving the children behind. One group of them (grown up in the meantime) is living in a former military base called Thunder Mountain. The leader is not only looking for a way to keep 'his people' save; he also thinks about the future of the world and tries his best to build a new society. Which is not always easy, of course, because there are other groups, too, with different interests. And there is still the question: Will the virus come back one day? And what can we do against it?

Unfortunately, the show was not as successful as hoped. Sometimes I think it just wasn't the right time for it. Today we have 'The Walking dead' or '100' and other stuff like this. And Jeremiah would have had the same potential. But it got canceled after only two seasons. A lot of questions are not answered, and you may say that the show ends with a cliffhanger. Though for me, it is a least a good one, and I can live with it.

2. The Good Doctor (TV)
This is a pretty new series from 2017; in the meantime, there are three seasons. You may say: Oh no, not another medical drama, we already have enough of this. But 'The good doctor' is different.

Of course, there are stories taking place at a hospital in San Jose. There are cute doctors, a tiny bit of sex, and lots of drama. But first of all, there is Shaun Murphey, the leading role of the show.

Shaun is young, Shaun is a brilliant surgeon. And he is an autist. With a lot of problems to interact with others, brutally honest also to the patients. A great part of the show turns around him; not only his way as a doctor but also his complicated past and his try 'to survive' everyday life.

I admit it, I do like medical drama, and I've already watched some shows, but 'The Good Doctor' is different, maybe even better than everything I have watched before.

I feel the same way about Jericho that you feel about Jeremiah; that they were canceled much too soon.

Oh, Jericho, yes, I did watch this one, too.

Yay, The Good Doctor! I've only seen a few eps, but I was sort of really there for those, always had to watch the entire ep. He's very good. I also like some of the other cast.

This is a very good show, IMO, and I', so glad that there is a third season.

I used to LOVE Jeremiah, but was never able to actually FIND season two! It was really frustrating. Such an interesting set up.

[prisca]

In my opinion, the second season is even better because there is more (main) story building. And Mr. Smith, of course, he is such a great character.

Never heard of Jeremiah, but it sounds really interesting! Dystopia is kinda my thing (and of course, Sean Astin!), so I'll see if I can find it.

Hope you will like it :)
