...Jericho, Season 1 (2006)

Jericho, Season 1, begins as an excellent, post-apocalyptic vision of what happens to a small Kansas town (the eponymous Jericho) after a series of nuclear bombs hits the United States. The script meshes elements of mystery, romance, and fear as well, if not better than, Lost. Unfortunately, much like Lost in season 2, Jericho goes off-balance about two-thirds of the way through season 1 - making me understand why there was no real audience for it.
