Jericho was good while they were keeping us the viewer in the dark about what the hell went down. What was crammed into about 13 episodes (last 4 of season 1, the remaining into the mini-season 2) was supposed to unfold over 4-5 seasons so it clearly lacked.
The show didn't have the budget it needed, either, so the episodes had to focus on the plains of Kansas *coughnorthofhollywoodcough* or the town itself. We might have had a real tour-de-force of characters going near destroyed cities, etc., but the low budget and lack of studio enthusiasm pretty much doomed it to be ignored. Once they killed off Gerald McRaney I knew the jig was up.
Still, the battle at the beginning of the 2nd season was worth watching.
