Jericho (2016) ITV Period Drama TV Review

Jericho introduces us to Annie Quaintain (Jessica Raine). A widow with two children – George and Martha, Annie must uproot her children after her husband’s death. The only home they’ve known has been a good one. The children had proper schooling and a respectable life. But now Annie is forced to sell their household belongings to satisfy debts.

The primary story is that of Johnny and Annie, but also a factor is the coinciding arrival of Mr. Coates (Clark Peters). An American railway man with years of experience, Mr. Coates is a complex character. For me, he’s one of those characters I love to detest. He’s a patient sort of person who bides his time, but you never completely trust. Hidden beneath that façade is a mysterious man with a painful past.

Content Note: There two implied sensual scenes (neither one goes beyond the unbuttoning of a shirt, and a scene showing them redress). Multiple scenes (non-graphic) take place in a brothel. There is some violence including a many dying from a slit throat, and explosions. The series is TV-14.

  1. Thanks for sharing. I have to say that I have not seen this show, but it seems intriguing. I don't know if it would be perfect match for me or not though. I don't watch much period drama. Sorry to hear it's not been renewed though and there is some plot lines left hanging. I hate when that happens!

    1. As do I, Lauren – and you know, they always cancel the shows we're more attached to, right!?

      Period drama is one of my MOST favorite genres, so I'm constantly seeking them out. I hope if you ever see Jericho, you enjoy it. It's wonderful. :)

      Thanks so much for visiting. :)

  2. Yesssss! I love this series! I haven't had the chance to watch the last few episodes yet, but plan to catch up soon. I hate that is has been canceled, though. You're right. It always seems like favorite shows get the ax just as they make us want more. WHY?! Ha ha!

    1. HI RENEE! So glad to see you over here, friend. :) I'm glad you too loved this series. Isn't it wonderful!? I'm quite the fangirl over the romance and in general, the setting. Hope you enjoy the rest! :)
