!!!!!
My wife insisted on watching the full first season.
It was about 10 episodes in when I realized....gorsh, this is a lame show.
Then, after hearing lines like "do you really want to hold your daughters letter,.....OR YOUR DAUGHTER?" I wrote it off.
Besides the episode where they actually excape (FINALLY living up to it's title), what kept you watching the show? Didn't you find it got REALLY formualic? |

Not worth watching? I have four words for you:
Teabag the bisexual rapist.
You rarely find characters who can attract and repel you with as much force as that guy does.
As for the second season. Well, they've just gone way too far beyond the realms of plausibility now. |

I am afraid I liked the first season, only to get a bit bored with the impossible happenings of the second season, lame plot twists and stuff... seems like it was meant to be one season long, but they extended it to make more money? |

I have been complaining about it being kinda lame in the second season to my girlfriend but she will hear nothing of it.
Its just like 24 (which is also a fox show) characters that whisper when they are talking (micheal) and narrow ridculous escapes.
I got to say though I do love tea bag. |

I like it. Did someone complain that it's unrealistic?  I guess that rules out about 99% of every tv show and movie ever made, then. I think the characters are interesting, and I like seeing the complex plan unfold or get tangled up. |

| Haven't seen the second season, but the first season seem like a poor man's family-friendly Oz. Don't know how serious I can take a prison drama without at least one shower room raping or shanking per episode. It's just not realistic without it. |

Because you've actually spent time in a maximum-security prison and know what it's REALLY like, right? |

| Jericho is only on its 6th episode and it's already jumped the shark. |
