TV series "Jericho", is it worth watching ?

[PreliatorX]

IMO def worth the watch. I enjoyed it, wish they hadn't cancelled it as it was just really getting good...

The Jericho story continues in the S3 & S4 graphic novels.

In S3, we learn the backstory of John Smith, the mastermind of the attacks. In S4, there is a double agent living in Jericho.

You can get them on Amazon (both print and Kindle):
tinyurl.com/JerichoS3Novel
tinyurl.com/S4Jericho
You can also get digital versions via Comixology and the IDW app

The S5 graphic novel is in the works.

There have also been some recent hints that a Jericho movie is possible.

Lennie James, who played Hawkins, is actually English (from London).

I first saw him playing Enjolras in the 1998 movie version of Les Miserables.

James also plays Morgan in "The Walking Dead", one of the most under-utilized characters in that show in my humble opinion.

Yes. Morgan's a great character that we don't see enough of. But when he does show up, you shits about to go down

There was actually a 7 episode season that followed up on that.

It may not have been perfect, but I thought it was a pretty good representation of a post-apocalyptic scenario, where you may not necessarily have complete societal collapse, but the lack of information flowing and unrest lead to interesting results, and how some will try to take what others have. The one thing about the show is it didn't portray anyone as being truly "innocent" or "perfect", but instead had the aspect that everyone is human, and sometimes the only difference between good and evil is one's perception, as well as how blindly following one ambitious leader can lead to ruin. I also thought it was getting really interesting when they started digging into who was actually behind the nuclear attacks.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, take the time to watch it. Even if it's not perfect, it's still better than 95% of the crap on TV.

This.
I love apocalyptic movies and tv shows, but for some reason, everybody now thinks zombies and vampires are a realistic scenario. Jericho is more of a probable "realistic" scenario.

Wait, he comes back? That's awesome, I thought he was gone after they find him in season 3. We just started season 4.

 

[BearClaw500]

Oops haha. I'm back 5 or 6 episodes in the current season

As for the series... there are a few ridiculous scenes when it comes to military stuff, or a couple of shootouts, but they can be overlooked.

Yes, I have a google alert on "jericho" and I often join a forum to be able to update the fans.

In 2014, CBS made a lot of surprise moves, which have put them in a position to monetize a Jericho comeback (without putting it on the CBS Network).

1. CBS is partnering with Lionsgate on the POP channel. Currently TVGN, the rebranded POP channel, will focus on fans, fandom and popular arts. POP premiers on January 14th.

2. CBS started their own streaming service - CBS All Access.

3. CBS is launching a retro digital channel, called Decades. It will focus on vintage TV and pop culture. This subchannel will be available over-the-air in many of the CBS local markets.

4. CBS has given Netflix the international rights to their digital library.

5. CBS Films has teamed with LIonsgate (Twilight and Hunger Games) to distribute and market their wide release films.

These five major moves indicate that CBS has ventured into all the platforms that Jericho fans frequent (over-the-air, cable, on-line, and international).

If the talked about Jericho movie is green-lighted, then Lionsgate would be the ideal partner for CBS Films.

Check out The Last Ship on TNT. It is a pandemic apocalypse and season 2 will start this summer.

I also like The 100 on CW, not as realistic, but much better than Revolution.

I started watching that one but had a hard time believing the ship's Captain would be going out on every shore patrol and getting into gunfights.

I like the premise, though. Kind of like that movie about the sub in Australia, can't remember the name of it.

"On the Beach" with Gregory Peck? That was a good movie.

 

[DispositionMatrix]

Network series with no ending. Good concept and predictably failed execution using the old media paradigm. Had Lennie James in it, though.

that's it.

Any love for Falling Skies? I found it entertaining enough to follow for a few seasons. It also has a post-apocalyptic feel to it but with alien invaders. If I recall correctly, the weaponry was portrayed and handled fairly accurately which was a nice surprise. There were also a lot of parallels to the American Revolution because the first (maybe second) season takes place in Massachusetts.

Ridiculous writing. Spielberg's brand on a terrible TV show. Who would name an alien "Goat Cheese"?

Where guns are basically illegal. Only the gangs would survive an alien invasion of MA.

On the beach. Depressing movies - both versions.

Can you explain the physics of why a bullet made of alien metal (fired from a normal AR-15) should go through the heavy armor of an alien robot?

That's kinda like saying to penetrate the side of an M1 tank you just need a steel bullet.

It's aliens. They have aliens physics
