	Author	Review
United States	Robert Abele LA Weekly	"What’s intriguing about the series is the absence of a visible enemy (...) and the focus on keeping citizens from becoming their own worst enemies"	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"'Jericho' has a surprising ability to create tension from the unthinkable"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"Discerning viewers (...) will realize that 'Jericho' is doling out hints to a very large mystery at a very slow pace, which is never a good combination"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Despite sharp casting, the real trick will be to develop Cold War-style fear while dribbling enough clues to elevate this above being just a post-apocalyptic 'The Young and the Restless'"	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"There's something missing from this postapocalyptic drama, namely, a realistic feeling of apocalypse"	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"In 'Jericho', claustrophobia, paranoia and the threat of nuclear rain are merely an overlay meant to distract us from the mundane nature of everything else the town has to offer. Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"Downbeat and earnestly preachy about community and survival, this weird show is further hampered by glum Skeet Ulrich’s miscasting as the all-purpose prodigal hero"	NEG
United States	Tom Shales The Washington Post	"It might sound callous to say that 'Jericho' has managed to make nuclear war look boring, but there you have it"	NEG
