The Monday Series

Secret Diary of a Call Girl, the Sopranos, Big Love, Jericho, and Nip/Tuck each competed for the right to be watched every Monday, but only 1 could earn the time slot. And the winner is...

 _****½

A visible nuclear detonation rocks a small town, forcing its people to come together to deal with the chaos created when the town's electricity fails, a bus of school children goes missing during a field trip, and isolation sets in as modern communication cuts off. The mayor of Jericho struggles to maintain the peace as rumors of possible nuclear war run rampant through the darkened streets.
