What happens

Jericho is a British period drama television series created and written by Steve Thompson; it was directed by Paul Whittington. It is set in the fictional town of Jericho, a shanty town in the Yorkshire Dales of England, which springs up around the construction of a railway viaduct in the 1870s. The series re-imagines the building of the Ribblehead Viaduct (renamed the Culverdale Viaduct) as a Western-inspired story. The eight-part series premiered on ITV between 7 January and 25 February 2016. In April 2016, ITV confirmed that a second series of the show was not going to be commissioned. The series was available for streaming video in the USA on Acorn TV, beginning 11 July 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
