Next month the second season of the post apocalyptic show Jericho is set to air. Somebody at the network or on the show leaked the first three episodes online. Because the people at NMA are so helpful (SARCASM!) I found them streaming right over yonder:

Some spoilers in case you're a pussy...
I watched the new episodes and it was decent. We learn the country is mostly recovered from the attacks and is currently going through a second Civil War. Everything west of the Mississippi River has a new President and renamed the country the Allied States of America; and the East, which is lead by remnants of the old government. The West is more powerful and run everything, rewriting history, controlling the press, killing dissenters, etc.. Texas, an independent, is the wildcard and whomever it sides with will decide the direction of the new America. Also the new "ASA" is secretly lead by the bald CIA dude from season 1. To cover up the inside job concerning all those nuked cities, they launched retaliatory strikes on Iran and North Korea, blaming them for something they had nothing to do with.
There's a lot going on, and I'm surprised how well written everything is without getting lost. You still have the weepy moments between the farmer dude and the IRS chick with the tits. Acting isn't bad, and Hawkins the black guy is better. Sucks without Major Dad, though. It's less The Day After and more 1984 in the setting of that Travolta movie Phenomenon (in case you don't know, the guy Jon Turteltaub is responsible for that movie and Jericho).
