The second season of the cult favorite Jericho shows in gritty, emotional detail why fans adore this show. It's intelligently written, and manages to make its out-there concept not only believable, but mesmerizing. Part post-apocalyptic sci-fi, part Western, part conspiracy thriller, and part juicy human drama, Jericho in its second season explores how the citizens of wee Jericho, Kansas, are coping six months after a nuclear bomb destroyed most of the town--and the fabric of the country. The layers of character and plot development, rare on network TV, continue to surprise and develop. Our hero, Jake (Skeet Ulrich), is helping put the pieces of his town and life back together, while hostile forces from neighboring towns plan attacks. And the mysterious Robert Hawkins (Lennie James) is hiding in town with a literal smoking gun--a nuclear warhead that may prove the attacks were carried out not by Iran and North Korea, but by internal forces. Hawkins is on the run, and Jake is in on his secret. Amid all this chaos arrives Major Beck (the charismatic Esai Morales), who's been sent by the acting Western government to instill order in Jericho. "The nightmare is over," he intones to the shaken townsfolk. "Order will be restored." The nightmare is far from over, however, which accounts for Jericho's intense drama and creative storytelling. The viewer is never totally sure whom to believe, keeping the viewer just off kilter just enough to want to watch another episode, and then another. Extras on the boxed set include terrific audio commentaries on virtually every episode, which lend even greater appreciation to the set designers and cinematographers. There's a featurette, "Rebuilding Jericho," giving fans insight to the conception of a post-apocalyptic America, and deleted scenes, and perhaps most interesting to devoted fans, an alternate unaired ending to the season finale--worth watching just to see where the creators imaginations can take them. --A.T.

It's a great series. It's a shame that they canceled it after the 2nd season.
 A great TV series October 4, 2008
Looking forward to the war of the two countries in the third season (if it happens). Action packed series...a must for all. I loved it.
Shame it was cut short. October 2, 2008
This was a really enjoyable show and I was really glad they brought it back and so really upset when this season was cut short. I was looking forward to learning more about the people involved and how they lived after all was revealled about the bombs.
NUTS to you CBS! NUTS! September 18, 2008
This is one of the best tv shows out there. and I bet you haven't seen it. buy season 1 then come back and buy season 2. yes there are only 7 episodes but what you get is a full 22 episodes of story. The writers of this show knew they were only going to get a short season so they took a seasons story and condensed it and got the whole season told in 7 episodes. suprising I don't think they short changed the auidence! it was brillant it was fast paced it was fun. it was awesome. The extras on the dvd are a little sparse they Nuts campaign was fun to watch the deleted scenes didn't really add much. I wish there was a little more in the extras but the show itself is brillant. it is a scary scary look at what might happen to world if a war were to break out on US soil. buy it you won't be disappointed.
