You know that story, the little engine that could? That's how I feel about Jericho, on CBS. When I first saw it I was like, "Yeah, alright, sure" and thought that where it wasn't that great, I would still watch it to see what happened in the second episode. Well, I did that and then got hooked. This is a really good show. Very compelling and for the love of God, can they please find out what the hell is going on?
It's about the people in a small town after a nuclear war (we think) and them trying to figure out what the heck happened. It stars Skeet Ulrich, who I, and many others, always thought about as the poor man's Johnny Depp. Well, that's sorta accurate, but if you are the poor man's Johnny Depp that ain't that bad. He's a good actor and really REALLY easy on the eyes.
There are stories within stories and mysteries that keep me invested every week. What's up with Skeet's old flame's fiancee who they thought was dead but could have survived? How many cities were hit? Who else is alive? And what the hell is the black man doing with the satellite and Internet connection?
If you haven't tried the show, I'd give it a shot, it's worth it.
