Jericho


Why didn't anyone tell me that Jericho is so radical? I love it. It's a critique of the Iraq war akin to Battlestar season 3, admittedly minus the subtlety. The show basically pillories the US for ceding its values and infrastructure to Blackwater's corporate capitalism. I mean sure, it loves guns, militias, traditional gender roles, and proprietary capitalism, but no one's perfect. This is the reason Obama won the election. When guys who love guns, militias, traditional gender roles, and proprietary capitalism have a stinging critique of the US foreign policy, politics are swinging left. Image care of here.

Jericho has radical elements, but it is also a what if story that makes you think.

Jericho is currently encoring on The CW, Sundays at 7/6c. After you watch, please sedn feedback to The CW, saying you want more Jericho.

My friend has since pointed out that Jericho is also just a right-wing critique of the Republican party for making right-wing ideals unpalatable nowadays. So there's that too. But I still endorse a right-wing that does not make use of Blackwater-type institutions.

endorse is absolutely the wrong word. I prefer a right-wing that does not make use of subcontractors.
