Jericho [Australia]

[Redemption]

[size=1][b]Jericho[/b] starts tonight on Channel 10 in Australia.

The storyline is about this town that supposably is the only town that survives a nuclear attack (not directly of course). When I saw the advertisements on TV, it reminded me of a book I read in grade 10 called [b]Z for Zachariah[/b]. The storyline is very very similar. The only difference is that a valley, populated by a few families, was spared. It's written from the perspective of a young girl whose parents go over the mountains to the other side and never come back.

I was wondering what your thoughts are on its storyline and if you would watch it. For example, my sister refuses to watch it because it is too near a reality for her. I'm actually excited because its storyline is so similar to the afore mentioned book.[/size]

I loved the book Z for Zachariah; so if you say this show sounds alot like it then i would definetly watch it.

I think some people think it hits too close to home i guess; they don't want to imagine living in a world like that.

Hah, I remember [u]Z for Zachariah[/u]. :P

Jericho looks somewhat interesting to me, but I'm also worried it's just a reaction to those other continuous-storyline drama/mysteries out there like 24 and Lost. I'll catch the premiere if I can (though it won't be for a while in America), and if I don't like it then oh well. lol

Actually, Jericho premiered last night. I didn't watch it, though, because I can't say that I'm very interested in it lol.
