Over the weekend, Pam and I watched the entire season 2 of the TV show Jericho (which has now been cancelled). That was truly a compelling show, and I mourn its passing. But with such a large cast, I'm sure it was expensive.

The second season was just 7 episodes (2 DVDs via Netflix). Since they had to end the series early, I was wondering if it would be a satisfying ending, or just a never-to-be-resolved cliffhanger, like some other series that have been cancelled. It was satisfying. They did a good job.

The DVD included an alternate ending of the cliffhanger variety. If the show had been renewed, that would probably have been the ending aired on TV. But the one they aired was about as good as they could give viewers. Left lots of things up in the air, but told you that things were headed in the right direction.
