If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Jericho is available in the US on Paramount Plus Premium right now. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Skeet Ulrich leads a cast that carries the story without ever feeling mechanical. Start it on Paramount Plus Premium whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Jericho keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting gives Jericho its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Jericho is an American action/drama series that centers on the residents of the fictional town of Jericho, Kansas, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities in the contiguous United States. Credit to Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. The series ran for 2 seasons (2006–2008), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The plot mechanics of Jericho never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Jericho. The tonal similarities to Longmire are real, though Jericho carves out its own identity quickly. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Skeet Ulrich carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Jericho was cancelled in 2008, created by Stephen Chbosky, Jonathan E. Steinberg and Jon Turteltaub — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
