New York Daily News David Hinckley
The show itself, however, does much of its best work in the shadows, where nothing is that clear.

San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum
There's a crispness to the series that was lacking at times last season, and it's impossible not to get caught up in the twists and turns that come in rapid-fire succession.

Boston Globe Joanna Weiss
The world is well-constructed, down to the details: By the third episode this season, Ulrich's hair has grown into a messy and convincing frontier mullet. And the characters are intriguing; Esai Morales is notable as an Allied States Army major who might soon be convinced that his superiors are up to no good.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
In Season 2, the show, brought back by fans who vociferously protested its cancellation, has become more topical and even more intriguing.

Newsday Diane Werts
The second season of CBS' cult fave broadens beyond the first season's lawless action and family sentiment, even its rallying sense of community, to a wider and deeper purpose.

Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray
From the three episodes I've seen, I'd say that even after all this time, Jericho still has something to say.

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
I predict those struggles for allegiance to be reflected in the microcosm of smalltown Jericho. Instead of “North and South,” we may be about to get “East and West.”

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm
The story's too good to be undermined by a little woodenness.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Was this resurrection worth the effort? In a word, yes.

Slate Troy Patterson
Like "Alias" or "The X-Files," Jericho has enough wheel-within-wheels, double agents, and ad hoc alliances to draw in viewers who love a long-playing puzzle.

Entertainment Weekly Ken Tucker
I'll never be a Jericho nut, but I'm all for performers like these [Daniel Benzali] who'll inject some cracked intensity into this grim fantasy.

TV Guide Matt Roush
The action is fast-paced, the plotting dense, if often simplistic, and the tension generally sustained, as long as you don't overthink the improbabilities of the cover-up over who's responsible for the bomb attacks.

Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall
On paper, the idea of building a new democracy from the ruins of war while government contractors run amok--in other words, showing what would happen if the reconstruction of Iraq took place in our heartland--is just as strong as the original premise of Jericho. But the execution remains mediocre.
