    Following a nuclear attack on the US the citizens of Jericho are forced to quickly adapt to a new, and far more unpredictable, way of life. A very good pilot episode certainly helped to set everything up concisely featuring a good mix of drama and character introductions, as well as a truly memorable finale. From then on however the show was certainly inconsistent from week to week.

From then on however the show was certainly inconsistent from week to week. The gradual uncovering of who was behind the attacks certainly made for interesting viewing but a number of storylines seemed to have been written just to fill in episodes.

    It really feels as if Jericho could have benefited from a shorter, tighter season.    … Expand

    This is one of my all time favorite shows. I rewatch it every year. It had an amazing story, with mystery and suspense, intelligence and compassion, and such interesting characters and fantastic casting. More then that, it was unique, which is rare in TV. It is a tragedy it was canceled. There was so much scope, so much story it could have told.

    Первые две серии очень даже интересные, загадочные и атмосферные, но чем дальше, тем меньше всего этого. В городке вообще не чувствуется того, что наступила война или апокалипсис. Скучные диалоги, очень мало действия, наверное, создатели думали, что можно обеспечить рейтинги только за счёт какого-то твиста в конце серии, но нет.

Likeable characters, most of them act in a believable way (not too much drama or hollywood style action, which is good). Good writing, nice dialogues and many small stories in between the different characters. The major idea is rather ominous, tries to keep up the mystery (to a point where it becomes an unbelievable meta plot), but keeps the chars running. The degree of social desintegration caused by a disaster like shown here is too mild, though. I don't miss gung-ho man eating gunslingers, but I doubt that a city could stay that clean, that healthy for such a long period. Days after the power goes down the lack of clean drinking water, food and medicine would cause a much higher death toll, than shown. And never would people stay so calm and democratic for so long, they have to many guns and are to egocentric to keep up a functioning community. Fights would break out over small amounts of food, that no mayor speech could stop. Law would crumble and the weak would get trampled by their own people. Then there is the complete lack of radiation effects as long as they don't leave the city - wtf? No winds at all in months?

    I guess the production was'nt allowed to be more realistic (= depressing) because of target audience, channel and schedule. You have to imagine that everything would actually be ten times worth in reality.

    Still the best try in years to show the effects a major catastrophe will have on human society and civilization. Too bad that it didn't prevail. While watching it I felt a shiver down my spine, as the scenario shown is just an inch away. Our luxury life can be taken away any moment by some idiots (although a single large EMP strike by Mr. Putin or the Chinese is more realistic than terrorists setting up some 40 dirty nukes all over the states). A major sunstorm like in the 19th Century would have a pretty similar effect. All tech we rely on would be gone in a moment, leaving us as babies in an unforgiving world.

    Actually this series should be shown in schools. It should have been a major success as a waking call... but most people are so lazy and ignorant. Get your next iphone, I will laugh at you when the powergrid goes offline forever and you forgot to buy a knife or a water filter (I am not a survivalist, I just consider people denying the fact that we constantly walk on very very thin ice irrational).    … Expand

    Thanks to this show we'll probably not get another post-apocalyptic tv show for another 20 years. Terrible run of the mill American TV story line. More concern about who is sleeping with who than the environmental and safety factors of being post-nuke. Keep your romdram out of my favorite story plots.

    I love this show. Sure, it has some holes and some of the story lines are a little forced, but I binge-watched this show in a day and I loved every second of it. It's exceptionally well cast and the premise is eerie and exciting all at once. Definitely one of my Top 5 shows ever.

    CBS really blew it canceling this series. While not critically loved by all the pundits, the fans loved it. And a dedicated fan base shouldn't be dismissed lightly. Case in point: Star Trek. (Please note, Im not comparing this series to star trek, but the fan's dedication is very similar.)

    This show is an excellent program and I think that the critics are in need of some breaks. I don't think they have watched the entire season or they would be thinking differently.

    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!!!!

    All those magazine critics giving this show low ratings, they surely did not watch more than two episodes. The Hollywood Reporter totally takes the cake by labeling the story "predictable".

    The main problem with this show is the characters, aside from Jake Green and Hawkins they all come across as small minded and parochial. The fact that they spend all their energy attempting to get through the situation by working together is unrealistic.

It would be more interesting to find out what is going on outside of this small town, the reason this does not happen is the contmeporary obsession in TV (all blame/credit to 'Lost') of convincing viewers to continue watching only to find out answers to questions the writers pose. It is entirely unbelievable that after one month nobody from a town of 5000 wants to know where the bombs came from.… Expand

    Great show, especially this season. Now we're starting to learn more about the mystery of who dropped the bombs and also see the devastating effects of the bombs on people. I can understand the first season needed to establish characters, but this season is shaping up to be more what I wanted to see when I saw the first preview.

    The premise is great. However, as the story unfolded, it became crystal clear to me the writers had no intentions of recognizing a realistic apocolypse.

There are numerous inconsistancies regarding gas, food, shelter, electricity, etc..etc..but the flaw that made me stop watching this program was the character "Hawkins" & everything that surrounds him. He apparently isnt subject to the entire towns plight. He drives a large old Cadillac frequently, yet never needs gas. Food, shelter, & electrcity for his numerous gadgets is endless. His story is more about the love of his family & the top secret operation he is involved in. In my opinion its another network farce, where the Black man overachieves at everything & anything he does. He is incredibly intelligent, strong, caring, & clever. He is righteous & deeply moral while he saves the world. In 45 years of life I never met that Black man, he exists only on TV. Less than 3% of FBI is black. Yet blacks represent the largest % in HS dropout rates, fatherless children, violent crime & prison inmates. He is none of these. Like all Black movie/TV actors he is the exact opposite. Brainwashing propaganda, that simple.… Expand

    Love the show because though it had the potential of being over the top, it manages to focus on real people from their perspective. It balances the action/crisis with this personal touch well.

    A show that is getting better as the season progresses. Earlier in the season I would have given this a four for not really following through on the concept and having too much heartwarming bull filling up the airtime. Now that that has diminished due to less network interference, it has gotten much, much better.

    A great conceept poorly executed. I had high hopes for this series but just can't get past the idiotic storyline and dumb characters for what should be a very serious subject. Is this a nuclear disaster series or an afternoon soap?

    "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.
