    Jericho works when it sticks to the eerie surreality of a nuclear attack... The show, unfortunately, flops about in its first two episodes, leaning too heavily on the action-adventure stuff.

    What if Disney made a disaster show and used the typical bad lines with the cliche father estranged son dynamic and (dramatic pause......) added a mysterious african american man with the answer to everything hmmm..
