    It's my favorite TV-show! It's has everything you ever wanted. A post apocalyptic word, drama, action and the story behind the people's coping mechanism. Just awesome!

    Jericho is one of the more interesting sci-fi series I've experienced. It's a cult classic among fans and I know the reasons why. The characters are something to relate to and the subject matter is thought-provoking. Too bad this series lasted two and a half series. I recommend the Devil's Due/IDW comic spinoff of any fan who wanted to continue the story. I hope to see more of theJericho is one of the more interesting sci-fi series I've experienced.

    I just finished watching season 2 on Netflix and I must say that I am extremely disappointed that the show was canceled. This was easily one of the best TV series I've viewed and could possibly be the best if it reached a better conclusion.

    Jericho does what no other show does... gives hope. With the very real threat of terrorist attacks in the US, Jericho shows us all that even though the world may be in chaos, we can still bring out the best in ourselves and others. The informative episodes have caused preparations to be instigated in my own home... who knows, if the end does come, Jericho may have single handedly saved my family.

    Fantastic show with great writing, excellent characters, a lot of action. Too bad shows like this often get cancelled so we can get more "So You Thing Your Monkey Can Dance With the Stars" crapola. Add this to the list of great cancelled shows like Invasion and Threshold, Sarah Connor Chronicles and The Unit. I'm waiting for the hammer to drop on Fringe.

    thought the first two episodes were pretty realistic in terms of how people would react to events like this

    I think it's a good show. I hate so-called "reality" tv, so I'm not looking for any of that to watch. This is entertaining and different.

    Interesting premise, although I can do with less father/son histionics in the first episode. The second episode was better, and I enjoyed seeing a show that presents characters as resourcful, intelligent and competent. I have read that the writers are taking some cues from BattleStar Galactica on SciFi. Not a bad place to go for writing inspiration!

    Jericho, oddly enough biblical reference to the city of Jericho where the walls fell down, does that include the plot and drama too? haha, great acting, and perhaps a promotion from the daytime soaps. The thought of going to work on night shift, or enjoying the evening, and watching in the distance a brilliant mushroom cloud!

Assuming the Electro-Magnectic Pulse dont mess up my truck! :) I'd rather be "nuked with my folx" than stuck out on the highway trying! I'd turn around, and gun the motor! IF that happens. Iraq's former president Suddam Hussein tried to build a nuclear reactor to wipe out Israel, and Israel whupped butt... Will it take Israel to whup Irans butt? ha ha ha. I wonder, how many sleeper cells exist in the U.S. and have Russian made nukes that fit in a suitcase that slips by the "latest" x-ray or scanning devices in the U.S. Jericho might be the "wake up call" if we don't take Terrorism seriously!… Expand

    Jericho did have some bumps in the beginning of the season, but by the second half, it had hit it's stride and became one of the best shows on television. Great cast, great writing, just a great show!!!!

    I like this show, it has been the best show I have seen in a long time. A lot of Conspiracy and how maybe one day something like this could happen. The show needs to stay!

    I believe this show is a good wake-up call to what could happen in our own reality today. I believe the people the down the show still live in a fantasy world and if that's how they feel, they need to just stick to watching America's Next Top Model, or Survivor.

    The show has some serious issues with regard to radiation facts. The main character, who I love, is just a little too everywhere. Saving lives, putting out fires, blowing up mines! Also the slow motion of finding out who Hawkins is can drive you insane enough to abandon the movie. If the episodes weren't on the web I'd probably miss most of them.

    I beleave this an awsome show depicting realistic ways that an average person would take to a situation like a nuke attack and the way such a situation would affect the soacial dinamic that we all take for granted.

    A catastrophic nuclear crisis never looked as boring and convoluted as it does here.

    "Jericho" doesn't pretend to be artistically risky, but it's got a scary and gripping theme in an age of terrorism and nuclear thuggery.

    Jericho works when it sticks to the eerie surreality of a nuclear attack... The show, unfortunately, flops about in its first two episodes, leaning too heavily on the action-adventure stuff.
