Jericho Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
EarDelightBase Waste of Money.
VividSimon Simply Perfect
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
grocco-2 That this wasn't a "Deadwood" clone, we can all be grateful for. Not one F word in the whole thing, as opposed to Deadwood, which was one of the most foulmouthed dialogues and putrid bloody writing in history. A concoction of a perv.Jessica Raine - I would marry her and have her children and equally share her monthly.Jeany - A stunner without being achingly beautiful. (these two women rate a Ten) Apparently most don't yet know what fictional entertainment is about to criticize costumes, language, script, etc.No this was not GTW, but a pleasant binge. Seeing "a Western" made in England was something I never even considered until yesterday. Only half way thru but will complete it.
Mini Paws I think people coming to Jericho for historical accuracy, smut and grime filled realism will be sadly disappointed with this show. Those of us with a bit more open mind will accept that not all shows need to be so closely attached to realism to be a good tale. Jericho provides some elements of harsh realities but not to the point of compromising the integrity of what I believe the show is trying to achieve. Which is a moral line drawn in the sand and a way to spin a tale but also show us that people can eventually make the right choices, they can change. The show has clearly set boundaries for a reason and this is what makes it so hard for people to accept now with other shows related to the same era baring all for maximum profit and delights. If you compare it to those shows then of course it will fall short for your needs. Perhaps (most likely) it is a marketing failure on the networks part, but the show has seemed to draw in people that just want to see more smut, realism, and close attention to facts only.In short, if you want harsh realities with no sense of purpose but to reflect what we already know to be true on human nature there are plenty of other shows to watch--Jericho is NOT one of them.( I am not saying there is no value in realism, I am saying Jericho is not to be compared, because it's simply not the same style)If you want an interesting tale set in this time with more emphasis on integrity of actions Jericho is the show to watch.Re-market this show correctly so people do not get confused about what to expect and some fair reviews can start to come in.
Richard von Lust This series is simply a classic example of mainstream pulp fodder aimed to push modern political idealism by setting it in the past and trying to convince a mindless audience everyone has always thought what Hollywood wants us to think now.OK it wasn't directly made by Hollywood but a quick check on the production associates and the financial origins behind this rubbish will identify the link. Independent UK productions are just a dream of the past: now we have to suffer virtual Westerns set in Victorian Yorkshire.And we have to suffer the pulp of beautiful young women in carefully contrived modern make up playing mature mothers in poor villages 150 years ago. And colored bosses behaving as if civil rights had been won before time began. The plot is contrived and predictable, the sets are designed by fashion students and the acting gives as much feeling for the 19th century as Macauley Culkin in Home Alone.You are better off watching WWE wrestling: avoid if you value you time.
maureenbennett I couldn't get past the ridiculous outfits and makeup. In this shanty town full of filth, ruffians, chamber pots, and no baths, the immaculate heroine and her children stepped straight out of a Downton drawing room. The mother's big braids and sleek curls never fell out of place, even after a harrowing journey, or when there was a big explosion. The other women, all predictable soap characters, were equally overdressed. The scene of the women washing clothes in the stream (whilst wearing voluminous dresses, frothy curls, and not getting wet), may be typical in India, but not in freezing Yorkshire, (where the expression 'don't wash your dirty linen in public' originates). In those remote impoverished villages all the women had to work, and they wore thin straight dresses covered by coarse aprons, clogs, and shawls, with their hair tied back in buns. Should any man dare to wear a silky red shirt with puffy sleeves he would be laughed out of town. As for cowboys in Yorkshire ....! and no Yorkshire accents ....! To irritate further, the heroine suddenly acquired fine china and linen (imagine how the other women would have rightly laughed at such pretension). As I got more and more annoyed by the costumes, the makeup, the set, and the two-dimensional characters, I could not concentrate on the thin storyline, though I doubt if there was anything I could not have predicted.
