Jericho is a TV series that aired in 2006-2008. It has two seasons, one about 20 episdoes long, a second about 10 episodes long. Due to the amount of positive feedback given to Netflix on the show, Netflix is petitioning the company to extend the series.
The wayward son of the mayor of Jericho returns to the rural town to collect an inheritance, only to be stranded by a nuclear blast that cuts off communications to the outside world and makes him a reluctant leader amid chaos.
(netflix's desc. on Jericho, sounds a bit cheesy, but it is literally the best TV series ever, I'd say it's just as good or better than LOST)
