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.

 Jericho final season for good reason November 30, 2008
A. Celayeta (Colorado)
I enjoyed the first season of Jericho but perhaps it was because of the novelty of the story. The second and final season was not so good. I blame the directing and writing because the actors should have been great. The level of emotion was always the same no real highs and lows, absolutely no humor.
 jericho season 2 November 13, 2008
Rohan Mehta (Boston, MA USA)
Didnt enjoy it even half as much as the first season but i just had to watch it for the characters. Not recomended.
 Great November 9, 2008
Pamela R. Matteson
Was extremely sorry to see this series end. I could have watched at least another 2 seasons. Like the televised ending better than the alternate.

There should be a season 3 and more. Even my 79yr. old mother loves this series.

robm77 (Erlanger, Ky)
Jericho was great show and this second season proved it again, The writers were able to wrap the series up in 8 episodoes is amazing. If you were a fan of the show it is a must have. I hated to see this show end.
