Jericho, a refreshing step up in quality

So often I lament the passing of quality broadcast commercial television and then something new, challenging, such as Jericho shows up.

I think it is certainly timely in light of threats from without and perhaps even within our nation.

I was concerned that the 2nd season was not going to measure up as the first episode was rather shaky but it picked up and ended with a bang.

I am glad that CBS brought it back for a finale.

Casting was excellent and I am still astonished at the quality of the writing and plotting. Just so well done.

Cancelled Way Too Soon

I agree with so many reviewers, specifically those that see how much stronger a 13 episode season could be for a series like this.

The mystery, action, thriller, and drama elements are all sound.

The acting and plot were suspect to me in the beginning. That soon changed as the characters developed. These actors were put the test in some deep moments.

I definitely recommend this to those with patience, understanding, and a love for conspiracies turned reality.

Guilty pleasure

Sure it's formulaic, but they do it well with a wide range of distinct characters and along the way tackle some real issues. And here I am in 2021 rewatching it because it beats everything being made 15 years later.

This was canceled....

You've seen a myriad of garbage tv shows parade across your screen, some with 5+ seasons of mediocrity. This is not that show. Every bit as engaging as it was 15+ years ago, it's really worth a watch. Is the production value up to snuff in 2021? No, but its still great writing, a great premise, and decent acting. If you like TWD but could lose the zombies, take a look.

Glad I didn't overlook it

I was disappointed in how this series didn't get off to the best start but it sure kept getting better. I loved how it explored the American core ideal of resilience and always coming back after any catastrophe. The lead actor Skeet Ulrich was good but Lennie James's performance always stole the stage.

Trivia
Was aired in Australia within a day of being aired in the US up until the mid-season break. After the break, Network Ten failed to return the show to air for around 2 months after the US. This delay, combined with lack of advertising and a poor time slot led to Jericho being "shelved" after Episode #1.13 "Black Jack". This is a fate shared by several other cult shows, such as Battlestar Galactica (2004).

Goofs
The Rocky Mountain Front Range cannot be seen from anywhere in northwestern Kansas.

Crazy credits
Each episode's title card is accompanied with audio containing only Morse code (dots and dashes, or short and long beeps) which, when translated, provides a short hint (around 3 words) about the episode to come.
