I liked the fact that this sci-fi was more about characters and story than gadgets, explosions and action. There is a decent plot and actors are good. Unfortunately the plot is a bit silly. The course of events is overly optimistic compared to what would actually happen in such a grim scenario. I can forgive that because I wouldn't probably enjoy a pessimistic version (The Road). Some of the characters are exaggerated archetypes, but I can forgive that too.
However, I don't agree with some reviewers comments that there's a good answer in the series for everything. Some of the answers are totally unrealistic and certain events could not actually happen the way they happen in this story. Some of the nonsense happens because there would be no practical way for the story to stay realistic within it's limits, but some of it is just sloppy thinking and writing.
I would have been pretty happy with this when I was much younger and it's not bad even now, but not going to reach a cult status. Compared to the comics, the Jeremiah comics have a different feel in them. Slightly darker and less patronizing than this show. And that makes them better in my opinion.
