What happens when society breaks down. It is everyman for him self. The two brothers go to a near by town to find a hospital an get supplies. In the end the Ravenwood mercenaries are raiding the town. We got social break down. I do because I can mentality. The do it for it is right doctor they find is broken man for hard time kill these type of people, but the doctor is a much needed asset for the town. The subplots on the more social side are replace with the more nasty reality of life, which makes the show slicker. 8 out of 10 I believe event will only get worse for the town. I hope help is soon. Where is the federal government? When will electricity be restored? There is trouble coming down the highway! What is next.

back on track?

After the desperately bad previous two or three episodes Jericho is back on track with this week series. At least two of the three plot lines this time are interesting enough and this is because they leave soap opera aside for clean good action. Jake and Eric go on a trip to look for medicine to save their father's life and encounter a group of rogue mercenaries we'll certainly deal with in the coming episodes, while Robert's family go through an interrogation from their suspicious neighbors. On the way we learn something more about the past of both Jake and Robert, and what we learn makes sense. The only less interesting plot line is happening in the mayor's house, with a McGyver trick trying to win a few more hours for his life to be saved in the last five seconds while it's still possible. We also get some more information about the nature of the nuclear incident that triggered the story, although I have reasons to believe we are still far from knowing what the authors keep from us in store. The final gives good hints about what we shall deal with in the coming episodes and there is hope again for 'Jericho'.

Compelling episode

Have to say Theo Rossi makes the episode as the strung out mercenary looking for redemption. The premise for the massacre was thin, anemic really, but the result is all to believable. The secondary plot line, investigating the town's new resident was solid and complimented the action well.

The premise

Let me picture this in my head. FEMA was evacuating people from nuclear fallout site... ran out of room in buses... "couldn't take everyone"... and then... KILLED EVERYONE WHO THEY COULDN'T TAKE!!! I mean, my dear writers, I understand, there hasn't been a single "news outlet" that hasn't kicked FEMA or blabbed about "FEMA camps", but... REALLY!? Do you SERIOUSLY think THIS could pose as an "artistic license"?!

The worst thing about this is that it's actually not a bad story overall. But it is being destroyed by talentless writing.
