I saw the advert for Jericho

[DEATH eVADER]

Before you ask, this is not anything to do with the westler or Clive Barker's Jericho, but the CBS Drama about a mysterious Nuclear Calamity.

I've only seen the advert for it recently, the first run in the UK will be taking place on the 12th Jan. But its been on since september in the US.

Has anybody here seen it, and can they provide any criticism or praise for the TV show?

I've been keeping up with it here in the States. It's got an interesting story and some intriguing characters. It's a bit nonsensical at times, but they bring up some very real issues that would be faced in a post-nuclear country. Check it out, give it a chance.

It can be a little soap-opera-ish at times, but those are few and far between and they're still getting into the series. On the whole I've been very impressed by it and it certainly keeps things interesting. Each episode actually revolves around and resolves at least one thing, so its pace is much faster than something like Lost. There is also some larger story occuring outside the town and they haven't been afraid to take the action outside of the town itself.

I'm gonna have to disagree, I've seen the first three episodes and the idea of the show is interesting and all but it's just I don't know... BORING.

Believe me, it picks up pace as things get more dire. More than a few gunfights occur in later episodes. And I was referring more to the pacing of the plot, and how things are revealed. Every episode of Jericho at least ties up one thing it seems, even if it opens more questions.

First two episodes suck, the rest were better with bits of suckage. Some of the characters suck but it's interesting overall and has potential.

 

[Reaktor4]

Ive seen all the episodes so far. It is extremely cheesy, pretentious and has way too much annoying music. The early episodes arent good at all but it picks up later on and gets quite good at times.

The show had potential, but it quickly became another soap opera.

If you're into the whole apocalyptic thing, definitely give the show "Carnivale" a shot. One of the best shows on T.V.

Or at least it was

I'm getting confused by Hawkins. Good or Bad? Or misunderstood character?

He obviosuly knew something was happening (went to lengths to get his estranged wife out of harms way) and has information from the inside.

By the time goes on, I am starting to feel that this terror attack was sactioned by members of the US Government.
