Hi guys, it's been a while since I wrote a review but things have been hectic! However in that time I managed to watch the entire Jericho saga and it was time well spent! So in true Babylon Geek style I hope you enjoy this Jericho Review. If you're unfamiliar with JerichoξThe storyline centers on the residents of Jericho, a small, ruralξKansasξtown, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks onξ23 major citiesξin the United States. The series begins with a visible nuclear detonation of unknown origin in nearbyξDenver, Colorado. Problems are compounded by a loss of power and modern communications, effectively isolating Jericho. Later, power is restored to Jericho by what is alluded to as the efforts of the U.S. government. However, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from an unknown source disables all electronics.

The US has Changed...

What I loved about this was the execution, we have all watched post-apocalyptic movies or show (Survivors, Last Train) so we already know what plot points to expect, however, Jericho throws in some curve balls. I wont spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it yet but if you think you can predict what is going to happen you're probably wrong! Skeet Ulrich (think bad guy from Scream) plays one of the leading roles and does so brilliantly. His character is a kind of anti-hero from the outset but soon becomes the go-to guy of the town taking on dangerous tasks and generally acting very "John McClane". Not only does Jericho have a good plot and good cast they have also nailed the drama. Throughout the two seasons characters come and go, for better or worse, and each time the sense of loss is captured perfectly. I recommend giving this a watch, despite its troubled production, it was cancelled after season 1 but brought back to life by a petition of dedicated fans. This is a great example of the survival genre. For fans of Walking Dead, Survivors, Last Train, Book of Eli and We're Alive.
