    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.

    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!

I live in TX where Ft Hood is, and mark my words, if I see a mushroom cloud as I go into work, I'm going home to my mom and dad! 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.

    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.

    In a world of silly reality shows, this drama stands out as well written, acted and directed. A shining example of what intelligent viewers would like to see more of in future.

    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. I agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion but you have to be fully informed to have a better, well rounded opinion. Please watch the entire first season and then recap the review and post another This show is an excellent program and I think that the critics are in need of some breaks.

    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.
