Ladies and gentlemen, "Jericho" is back and in spades !!!
The first episode of the new season was somewhat less than stellar, but I found it to be most worthwhile. In all regards it was really a set up for this second episode, and the second show really delivers !!
Hawkins and Jake Green do take the center of the stage in this episode.
With each passing hour I am more impressed with the nuanced abilities of Lennie James, who plays the FBI/CIA secret operative, Rob Hawkins.
This fellow has the genuine ability to make statements with a shrug, a glance, a coy smile. He is really most impressive.
And I am still sold on Skeet Ulrich as Jake, who in this episode finds a way to subdue his emotions regarding his father's death, and a way to play the 'role' of the new Sheriff in the town.
The ending of this hour is another slam-dunk, too, as the much feared Ravenwood mercenaries are ordered into Jericho ... "to assume control".
The Daniel Benzali character, Valente, is a honcho from Homeland Security, and he is ever so much more creepy and detestable, too.
All in all, this new episode got a well-deserved ten of ten from this fan. Let's hope that with the Writers Guild strike now concluded, the CBS high command will slate another five or ten episodes, 'cause this Jericho thing is ready to really rock the house.
And friends, am I loving Mimi, the IRS agent played by Alicia Coppola, who's now 100 % in love with Stanley Richmond ....
