Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

lanettekarner I was not sure I was going to enjoy this, but I have almost binge watched it!It has a frontier town theme, with the best bits of romance and angst from the period dramas 'North and South' and 'Pride and Prejudice.'I enjoyed the premise and story line and relating this drama to the history of real life towns set up around such 19th century projects. Life was brutal and this series reflects that well.Give this one a chance and see how the story, characters and great acting draw you in.Thoroughly recommend:)

lyn_hough With so many shows having the harsh reality in them, it was lovely to find Jericho. I am such a fan of Hans Matheson and Jessica Rowe, the story of their growing romance is one of the old school.No real violence as such, no swearing ( the worst ) kind, a lot to leave to your imagination. In the 8th episode I was left speechless, how could this be the end, so many unanswered questions, story lines.......so many more secrets to find out......Is there going to be a 2nd season? If not ,give me a good reason for how all the other trash can stay on TV when a great, drama, romance,mystery can fail? Love all the actors, story, it is a show I watch and forget every thing while it transports me to a different and wonderful place called Jericho.......

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.

quincytheodore Railway era always has a romantic feel to it, some brave men venturing for progress and all that jazz. Unfortunately for Jericho, it's merely a timid drama instead of gritty realistic outlook of promising theme. The acting and environment are lackluster even though there are a few good shots due to its cinematography. Its slow plodding pace also serves as burden rather than pushing for a delectable endeavor.At first, it has a few interesting foundations. The characters appear likable enough while the scenery is primed for a grand journey through the era. However, it soon falters with the slow direction. In the span of an hour, there are too many unnecessarily lingering shots and merely one or two notable events. Audience doesn't need to see longing stares numerous times or chase scene that seems to run in circle, even the supposedly crucial moments ironically lack impact on them.This is a vanilla version of frontier drama with barely any excitement. It doesn't have to be full blown Wild West to be engaging, yet Jericho is atypically timid. Other series on the same time period like The Knick has shown the debauchery that can be fully capitalized, meanwhile Jericho doesn't appear to have the gusto to embrace the harshness of its time, which might feel sadly underwhelming.Acting is clumsy at times, some of the characters feel out of place, not because they are meant to, but their mannerisms are either too reserved or overly blunt to be convincing. Furthermore, the visual and audio are designed a tad too merrily, which is strange since the on-screen characters would try to sell their predicaments. Soundtracks might sound fitting to the premise, yet the repetitive tune starts to worn out its welcome.The slow and timid Jericho undermines its own potential, it feels too safe for the atmospheric and tenacious frontier era.
