Jericho, or proto Walking Dead, is an intriguing post apocalyptic drama were rogue elements within the United States government conspired to detonate nuclear weapons across major cities in America. The reason is unclear but basically it is seen as the only way to destroy a corrupt system and rebuild a government that works. The result is a United States split into three parts, The Allied States of America, The Republic or Texas and the legitimate successor to the United States government in Columbus. The series tracks one small town in Kansas and its inhabitants efforts to survive. It also has Morgan from the Walking Dead and Billy from Scream, so hey.
