Jericho is a drama about what happens in the aftermath of a nuclear explosion in the once peaceful town of Jericho. Following the battle with New Bern, the citizens of Jericho begin reconstruction efforts to restore the town's power and communication with the outside world. As the country's new leaders, the Cheyenne government, attempt to establish their stronghold in the region, Jericho's citizens become suspicious of their new leaders and question why their community is so important to this newly formed government.

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.
