    Imagine a show where they had good funding for graphics and actors. Now imagine all of these characters suck and there is a meandering story-line... Every character makes the worst decision possible at every point they can! If there was an electric fence, all of them would die from peeing on it.

    So I watched 3 seasons and god it was the most horrible acting I've ever seen. It almost feels like a forced school play even tho the story had loads of potential.

    The acting killed the tv show and ofcourse there are a few other things that ruined it. Like the enormous loud "Background" music.
    Watching this show was very cringy and made me feel uncomfortable.

    Next, let's talk the script, my gods it's bad. it's like someone put" the hunger games" and "lord of the flies" into a woodchipper and taped togeather what was spat out. The dialogue is sub-par, the plot is full to the brim with cliches, and to top it all off they named one of the bad guys Cain! For crying out loud how more on the nose can you get with a name?

    Then there is the acting, wow... I know finding good teen actors can be hard but this feels more like a high school production than something made for TV. Everyone's line delivery is stiff or overdone, I believe a dog's emotional performance more than the actors, and even the adult actors are lacking.

    All and all stay away from this show, unless you want something to rip into with your friends MST3K style.    … Expand

Groundless romances, meaningless emotional outbursts, eye rolling situations... nothing makes sense and we are not talking about elementary school characters... many are young adults and most are at least mid to late teens and as dumb as people can be, even cavemen weren't this bad. The show is yet another Lord of the Flies clone, this time piggy backing on the science fiction category. There is very little science in this show aside from the fact that it takes place in a future with advanced technology, it really is not "science" fiction, rather just plain fiction. The show tried to force a lot of emotional situations down your throat but since characters are not well developed, i could care less for their problems. Most of the time I was cheering for the bad guys just to liven up the show a bit but alas, it never does pick up. I would avoid this show.… Expand

    The acting is horrible and the teenage characters are written like schizophrenics. They are brave, weak, smart and incredibly dumb all at the same time. I'd have never thought that people in such constant fear of dying could find so much time to screw. I welcomed the breaks when the station was in space, there was some really cool sci-fi goin on up there. Season 1 and done.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show jumped the shark. Not one thing about it is believable anymore. Not one. It seemed so promising when it first started, but was going downhill even before the end of the first season. But I stuck it out, and hoped that at some point, the writing would improve. What I have come to realize is that believe-ability was never the goal. Creating a chick flick style action show was the goal. The people act like complete morons who have no idea how much danger they are in of becoming extinct. Speaking of Skykrue.

    Bottom line is, the writing is atrocious. So many series on TV with much better writing. This show relies on conflict and crisis for the sake of conflict and crisis. They don't need to be realistic or believable, they just need to exist.

    For those that doubt...the scene where Bellamy goes to man the turret and finds somebody waiting for him? Not even remotely believable. Not one little bit unless you are brain dead. OK, so they are trapped by two logs blacking their vehicle in, in broad daylight. Yet they can't see, hear or FEEL a good sized man crawl onto their vehicle? Really? No matter how hard you try, as a grown man, you are going to make that vehicle shift when you crawl on top. That's just for starters.

    Next, no way in heck Skykrue gives one flying crap about what Grounders think after they have attacked them so much, and then betrayed them. No...sorry, this technology dependent people move into the mountain, immediately, before anyone else can get it. Worry about the sensibilities later. These people are totally inept, and seem to lack understanding of their situation. They act like they are simply on one side of a dispute in a homeowner's association feud. Their security is never around when you need them, and when they are around, they screw up, like killing the grounder leader.

    Next, savage nations don't choose teenage girls to be their leaders. They choose strong proven warriors. I read someplace else a good suggestion. They should have had the grounders have big men be their leaders, while Skykrue and the mountain had women leaders. This would give the Grounders a reason to hate and not trust Skykrue. And as the man said, this would have given a legitimate reason for the Grounders to attack the kids, as Clarke was seen to be leading them.

    This is just a chick flick wrapped up in a post apocalyptic scifi dress. It officially jumped the shark in Season 3, Episode 3. If you want real scifi that is remotely believable, keep looking.    … Expand

    As The 100 goes along, you can feel it becoming more and more the show that Rothenberg and his writers want it to be, but it sure starts off at a great distance from from that destination. And even as it gets closer, there are still too many moments of mind-numbing illogic.
