When a new little series about a nuclear holocaust was scheduled to appear on CBS, I was doubtful that it would capture my interest, nonetheless the interest of the general TV viewing public. However, being a little curious, I opted to invest some time on Wednesday nights to watch. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Jericho quickly became my new favorite TV show and something I eagerly awaited each week, which says a lot seeing I don't normally look forward to TV shows. However, with most people being too inept to understand anything more than reality TV shows, the ratings plummetted and the show was cancelled after season 1. But, it was not gone for good, as a passionate and loyal fan base urged CBS to bring it back. Thus, Season 2 was produced.
Ending at Season 1, the show had to drastically change its focus. Rather than being a small town "lost" in the wilderness, Jericho became a town caught in the midst of a newly formed country, the "Allied States of America". In contrast to the United States (which still exists east of the Mississippi), the Allied States is more controlling, using an extended version of the Patriot Act and torture to often get its way. Making matters worse, the country's military force is Ravenwood, a government defense contractor similar to Blackwater that has negative ties toward Jericho in Season 1. Now, Jericho residents are caught in the balance with the decision of whether to accept the new government or resist it. I will not give away the ending, but will hint that it is leading towards the beginnings of revolution.
Overall, Season 2 was not nearly as good as Season 1, but it was still good to watch and offered closure. Only 7 episodes were filmed in Season 2 because of the writer's strike and CBS opting for a mid-season run, but they are all, for the most part, very action packed and move the storyline along. I was a little disappointed that several of the characters did not maintain powerful roles (i.e. Jake's Mother). Additionally, I felt that, between Season 1 and Season 2 in the Jericho world, too much information and modern technology was gained (i.e. knowledge of the bombed cities, cell phones and electric grid technology). But, in the end, I am glad CBS opted to run with these episodes. I would highly recommend Season 2 to Jericho fans, as well as recommend Jericho to anybody curious.

Got the DVD's for Jericho Season Two in via USPS this morning.A simple lightly padded mailer was used. When I opened the mailer, there was damage visible to the case (see photo).After opening the DVD case, one of the DVD's fell out as it had come loose from the holder inside. Light scratches are visible on the DVD that was loose within the case.Wife has been binge watching all afternoon to make sure the DVD is viewable with the light scratches. No problems.I suggest the seller use a better mailer to make sure DVD case are less prone to being damaged.
