Jericho - The Second Season (DVD, 2008, Multi-Disc Set - Sensormatic Packaging)

If you are not watching what our government is doing-watch this-it could make you take another look at who to trust-

Actually liked the 2nd ending better - really left room for another whole series. Really wish they would continue this show!!!!

In the minds of just about every human being on the planet, nuclear apocalypse reigns supreme on the list of horrifying "End of the World" scenarios. Jericho takes that premise and turns it slightly sideways by showing us a small town in Kansas where the initial, obvious effects of nuclear war wouldn't quite reach (far away from blast centers, far enough away that fallout was minimal, etc.).

What the show does with impressive bravado is paint the audience a picture of how secondary considerations would become the focus in this kind of event. Amidst the everyday problems of a small town community (politics, rivalries, relationships, etc.), we see them struggling with basic needs such as food supply, power for heat, and most frighteningly - information.

The town is cut off from all sources of information - as is the audience, as a result. This allows the viewer to feel more immersed in the situation. The writers do a really great job at keeping "omnipotence" away for the audience - leaving the viewer intrigued and begging for any kind of consolation to ease their mind. In turn, we are quick to empathize with the characters and feel more invested in how things will turn out.

The show is smart, entertaining, and has a lot of heart. It was canceled after its first 22 episodes, until fans buried CBS offices in New York with over 20 tons of nuts in protest. CBS was gracious enough to reconsider and order 7 more episodes of the series. Season 2 was born. It wraps up a most of the story but leave a little if they ever wanted to do more.

This was seriously one of the best series on tv and season 2 proved it, thank you to all the fans who faught for and still fighting for more jericho...

This is by far the best tv show ever. CBS is stupid for canceling it. It is a very intresting and hooking series. You cant stop watching it, its addiciting.

Wonderful series...wished they had kept it on. Have made both my children "Jericho" junkies.Great story line and cast. Any chance it might come back?

Jericho season 2 takes up where season 1 left off . It introduces some new elements while continuing the character story lines that kept you interested. This series is very well done and the acting is suberb.

A note for Jericho newbies, you can now buy the Seasons 1 and 2 in one set and save some money (right here on Ebay), or if you only saw season 1, season two is now out (this one) and you should see some used copies pop up soon at a discount over retail!

I wish this show was ongoing as others have stated as well. Like the show Roswell, it had something that brought the drew people in so much so they revived the show , at least for an abbreviated return (in this case the 2nd season).

I am sure you will enjoy this show! Even my teen daughter is into it, so we watch it as a family!

"Jericho" is unlike any series I've ever watched. I love the balance of action and suspense with realistic, multi-dimensional characters and complex relationships. Season 2 has given us a fast-paced story, but not without the flavor that we came to love in Season 1. Each episode in this serialized drama is well-written and brought to life by a talented cast and crew. "Jericho" is a show that my husband, my son, and I all enjoy--and there aren't too many series that we all like! Can't wait for the DVD.

I watched this season all the way to the end in one day. It was better than the 1 st season. Cant wait for a third.

used but in brand new condition.. works great.. I am overseas and bored in APO AP, and it shipped out fast!!.. The quality was great.. Although it was used the DVDs had been in prestine condition.. Reccommend for anybody..

Quite a bit different from the Great Season 1 set, but still very interesting once you get used to it.

My husband followed the series Jericho on TV and missed the final series. Never got to see how it ended so I bought the second series for him for Christmas 2008.

I am a fan of the series and already have series 1. I was really keen to get a copy of the second series. I have recently purchased a multi region dvd player and thought what the heck I want it now, I want it cheaper and ASAP. I got it from America and it all went like clockwork. This is a great series and I recommend it to anyone who loves Sci-fi.

Fue muy corta y no tuvo tanto drama como la primera parte. Me hubiese gustado que tuviera mas tiempo y reflejara mejor lo sucedido y la reconstruccion.

I loved this show! I can't believe they cancled this and instead bropught us more stupid reality TV. I was a well thought out stoy line that created a series that drew you in. I love having the entire series on DVD so that I can watch it when I want and I don't have to wait for the next show. If they were to produce a new season and it was only available on DVD I would haply pay over $100 a season.

Love the series, will make an excellent piece for my collection. Sell responded fast, price was great.

I missed this CBS series when it originally aired but got hooked on it in reruns on one of my HD channels. The series was great although you had to look past all of the inaccuracies. The plot of the show is how the people of Jericho Kansas cope with a terrorists' nuclear attack on 21 American cities. According to the series, Washington DC and the majority of the US government is gone, as are Atlanta, L.A., Boston, Denver and other major cities. Miraculously, New York is spared. The terrorists used small yield nuclear devices which in reality would have only destroyed or heavily damaged a few square miles, yet the series leads you to believe that "everything" is gone. The residents contend with a lack of running water or electricity, fuel, food and medicine. At any rate, the series features above average acting and a lot of sub-plots which keep the viewer interested. In reality, you either love the series or you hate it. My wife and I loved it and really got engossed in the personal lives of the characters.

What makes this second season so terrific is the continuation of different characters' storylines despite the fact that they had only 7 episodes in which to write the next chapter of Jericho. Skeet Ulrich shines, as does Lenny Hawkins, Kenneth Mitchell, Alicia Coppola and in particular Brad Beyer. Esai Morales was a great addition to the show and, together with Sprague Graydon, brought a little romantic tension when least expected. Jericho is a show that deserves a third season.
