88The show itself, however, does much of its best work in the shadows, where nothing is that clear.
-
80In Season 2, the show, brought back by fans who vociferously protested its cancellation, has become more topical and even more intriguing.
-
80The dialogue's still pulpy, but its action story is the bomb.
-
80The world is well-constructed, down to the details: By the third episode this season, Ulrich's hair has grown into a messy and convincing frontier mullet. And the characters are intriguing; Esai Morales is notable as an Allied States Army major who might soon be convinced that his superiors are up to no good.
-
80The second season of CBS' cult fave broadens beyond the first season's lawless action and family sentiment, even its rallying sense of community, to a wider and deeper purpose.
-
80From the three episodes I've seen, I'd say that even after all this time, Jericho still has something to say.
-
80There's a crispness to the series that was lacking at times last season, and it's impossible not to get caught up in the twists and turns that come in rapid-fire succession.
-
75I predict those struggles for allegiance to be reflected in the microcosm of smalltown Jericho. Instead of "North and South," we may be about to get "East and West."
-
70The story's too good to be undermined by a little woodenness.
-
70Like "Alias" or "The X-Files," Jericho has enough wheel-within-wheels, double agents, and ad hoc alliances to draw in viewers who love a long-playing puzzle.
-
70Was this resurrection worth the effort? In a word, yes.
-
I'll never be a Jericho nut, but I'm all for performers like these [Daniel Benzali] who'll inject some cracked intensity into this grim fantasy.
-
50The action is fast-paced, the plotting dense, if often simplistic, and the tension generally sustained, as long as you don't overthink the improbabilities of the cover-up over who's responsible for the bomb attacks.
-
40On paper, the idea of building a new democracy from the ruins of war while government contractors run amok--in other words, showing what would happen if the reconstruction of Iraq took place in our heartland--is just as strong as the original premise of Jericho. But the execution remains mediocre.
