Rating:  - Amazingly good
I bought these DVDs for my wife and both really loved the show. It is to bad that the show got canceled after the first season so the second season is only 6 episodes or so. The only thing I didn't care for about it was they loved to play sappy music at the end of each episode and it made the show seem hoaky.
Rating: - Some of The Best TV
I really like television shows like "Lost", "Damages" and others that are not the standard fare.
"Jericho" fits right in with these with its basic concept of what happens if something strange, in this case a nuclear disaster, happens.
The characters were well developed and the mystery of what was going on was addictive. Story lines were solid and the writers were not adverse to providing some shocks along the way.
The second season may not have been quite as good as the first season, but it was probably due to the strike and the fact the show was always in a difficult position as to whether it would be renewed. So the second season seemed just a bit rushed in that respect.
Like some other shows I wish were around longer I was dissapointed to see it was not renewed for a third season.
A bright, but too short lived, part of television. A good DVD set for your collection.
Rating: - A gem that people should take the time to discover....
As a fan of the show while it aired on CBS, I am not completely objective. However, I will say that I am a busy person with little time for TV, but this show captivated me and pulled me in from the beginning. Though the post-apocalyptic theme may have viewers thinking that it's a death, doom and destruction-type show, it's much more than that.
Jericho is a study in the 'character' of the characters and how disaster can either bring out the worst or the best in individuals. The show also showcases how the values related to home, love, family, community, teamwork, and compassion still ring true -- no matter how dire the circumstances and even if the world as we know it is no more.
I enjoyed seeing some familiar faces like Skeet Ulrich, Gerald McRaney, Esai Morales, Alicia Coppola, etc., as well as getting to know many new ones to me, like Brad Beyer, Lennie James, Ashley Scott, Bob Stephenson, and others. There's no more handsome, heroic, and yet flawed "prodigal son" than Skeet's Jake Green, no better moral compass than McRaney's Mayor Green, and no badder, more awesome mystery man than James' Robert Hawkins.
Jericho is a town not unlike ones in which we grew up, and the townsfolk are very similar to people you know. And because of that, it forces you to confront the question of "What if.....? What would I do if this happened to me?"
Jericho is still too much of an undiscovered gem for too many people. Do yourself a favor and figure out why, ... Read More
Rating: - Fell in love, then got dumped !
I had not seen an episode of Jericho until season #2 and instantly got hooked, then in a flash "POOF" it was gone.
I just do not understand why the ratings were supposedly so bad with such great stories and characters.
I pray the show is picked up by another cable channel soon and it continues.
FYI- I will buy the complete series when the price comes down !!
Rating: - Jericho Excells
One of the best series I have seen. Rivals "Lost" and "24". Would like to see more episodes.
