    This is the most underrated show that needs to be appreciated. I like the fact that the plot is unpredictable and it will make you want more for the next episode. The previous seasons, I can say that the characters are not learning from their mistakes and keep doing the same mistake but that's who we are after all. I think this season (6) the characters are different. Can't wait.

    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.

The 100 isn't a huge departure from what you'd expect from a young adult-driven, scifi/fantasy drama, but it is executed in a way that remixes so many elements enjoyed elsewhere. Apparently the negative reviewers don't see it the same way, but I absolutely recommend you give it a try if you're in the least bit interested in the plot synopsis.

    The 100 operates like a more brutal version of Lost, but much more grounded in its plot exposition and instead of constant new mysteries and puzzles, the protagonists find themselves instead in more precarious, dangerous, and worst-case scenario circumstances. Honestly, I've joked with my wife that the writers on this show are masochists, always placing these characters in circumstances and seeing how far down the "everything goes wrong" path they can go without completing killing everyone. Adding to the dramatic thread through each season is the ever-precarious, near-extinction of the human race, and you end up with a massively addicting and rewarding show. I also will argue that some of the adults' acting here is absolutely marvelous. The young adults grow into their roles over time, too.

    Any show with this much back and forth on loving or hating it beckons a look from a curious audience. Highly recommended -- try on the first 3-4 episodes before deciding whether to continue or ditch.    … Expand

    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.

A lot of time it felt like the show was taking itself apart trying to come to conclusions and tie things up. But I got attached to characters and the world and that’s what matters to me.

    Got side tracked waiting for the third season to come out, but I watched some of the second season with you. A lot of the more violent stuff in it freaked you out. I think it was one of the grittier shows we watched together, which is funny because everything is so fake. But this show is so much more about separation and loss and endings. It takes place in hard climates, both geographic and political. People are cruel and don’t care about each other. When they do, it isn’t always healthy. I think the show was too real for you, in a funny way. It wasn’t a bright and happy distraction, and you made us stop watching pretty quickly.

    Who in the heck thinks it's a good idea to play music throughout the entire show? Most of the time the actors speak in low and whispered voices and because of that darn music, you can't hear what they are saying. It's very distracting, annoying, and unnecessary.

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.

    Considering it is a CW show, I was lenient and expected a show that relied more on teenage love triangles to steer the plot more than science fiction. It was exactly that and while it is undoubtedly entertaining, there just isn't enough to make me care for the characters throughout an entire season.

    You have to struggle through the first season, I completely understand anyone falling off by episode 5 of the first season. It seems really touch and go until the second half of the second season. By that part, you pretty much have a full understanding that Season 1 to first half of Season 2 were heavily lingered upon for character exposition.

    Could it have been done painlessly, oh    You have to struggle through the first season, I completely understand anyone falling off by episode 5 of the first season. It seems really touch and go until the second half of the second season. By that part, you pretty much have a full understanding that Season 1 to first half of Season 2 were heavily lingered upon for character exposition.

    Could it have been done painlessly, oh yes, however, the director kind of drags you through the ground alongside the characters, not particularly entertaining fare. Second half of Season 2 is where my attention actually kicked in, you see the frailty in alliances, psychological scars left behind from Season 1, the sheer suffering is a sight to behold, more so than the oversexed garbage that usually shows up on TV or Netflix.

    I didn't dwell on the goofy method that they used to bring "Lincoln" in on the story but by Season 3 there is a lot more substance to this character. Lindsey Morgan's "Raven" goes into lackluster mode as the story progresses despite a strong start, Page Turco's character is best described as "supporting the supporting cast" and Bobby Morley's "Bellamy" needs a buff, he comes across as easily impressionable DESPITE all the happenings of Season 1, you would think that continuity is a thing when it comes to evolving mindsets, but eh, I'm not the one directing it. Thomas McDonnell's "Fin" character showed great potential but I'm willing to bet his role was not thought all the way through.

    Notable characters are responsible in my opinion, for making this story and there are a few. Eliza Taylor's "Clark" character has quite the bit of substance but she always comes across as underdog and never the one in any form of advantage, speaking of underdogs, there is one with a fierce bite, Marie Avgeropoulos' "Octavia", she is proving quite a capable character however, I don't think the writers exactly understand what to do with her character. Another great character to watch out for is Devon Bostick's "Jasper" his evolution or devolution rather is quite the beautiful story of a broken young man's mind. Isaiah Washington's "Thelonius" hasn't gotten much attention but I have a feeling that this character is going to play some key roles in Season 4 as is the case with bigger name actors. Henry Ian Cusick's character "Marcus" needs a bit more polishing, I find that even though Marcus is a great up and coming leader type, writing is not spectacular. The best wildcard in all this is Richard Harmon's "Murphy" a lot is unclear about him but has been written in a delightfully enigmatic manner. I also liked the fact that they have included a "Grounder language" that is not complete jibberish.

    Eight out of 10 it is then for me, it can be A LOT better however, for what you have on your plate, decent stuff, you could do a lot worse.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm hooked on this show, but it features a monumentally flawed premise, terrible logic, and some of the worst, most bipolar characters I've seen in any TV show. If you're thinking of watching it, and don't mind me spoiling some plot devices--only the horrible parts--read on.

    SPOILERS BELOW
    The most basic premise is alright. 97 afters a nuclear apocalypse, a group of survivors on a space station are running out of oxygen. They send 100 juvenile delinquents to Earth fully expecting them to die from radiation exposure but hopeful that they won't. Okay, I can live with that. But then things get stupid.

    This space station, the Ark, is made of 12 international space stations. Why does everyone speak English? 97 years is not long enough for 11 languages and cultures to up and vanish. This was the first case of faulty internal logic. I could forgive it. The 100 have been launched to Earth. Obviously they survive, or this show wouldn't exist. Thing is, they later discover that it's not that the Earth is radiation-free, it's that their genetic enhancement (which they never mentioned before) and expsure to solar radiation has made them immune to radiation. Cool, but how did they not know this on the Ark?

    Surprise! There are people living on the ground! Any reasonable person would have expected this. 7.13 billion people on Earth, and they honestly thought that all of them died? People living on space stations tend to be highly intelligent and highly educated, so that they believed they were the last humans is pretty unforgivable to me. The Grounders, as they're called, are tribalistic, hardy, and super dangerous. The CW went to some trouble to craft a language for them to speak, called Grounder Creole. Let me remind you, it's only been 97 years, and the 100 landed near Washington, DC. Where did this Grounder Creole come from? Of course they would all speak English, not some Northern-European-sounding mixture of languages. Many people on Earth routinely live more than 97 years. It's simply not long enough for a Creole language to develop that barely uses English. But don't worry, all the Grounders also speak English, they just don't like to? Why not?

    And the characters...Murphy is a bipolar murderer who doesn't seem to understand why everyone hates him, yet the show spends a great deal of time with him despite the fact that I want him to die. Octavia can't decide if she's a Grounder or a Sky Person--she was born on the Ark and her brother is one of the main characters. She gets accepted and then rejected by the Grounders, and by her own people, and yet she still doesn't seem to understand anything about the politics between the two groups of people. She's a weak plot device who only exists so she can be a sort of go-between to suit the writers. Some of the characters have real depth and flaws, and they make choices they believe in at the time and regret later. That's lovely, but it's far more common that they make choices without any consistency.

    The pace of the show is what is addicting. It really moves along, but that's probably its greatest flaw, and it's already becoming apparent after just a few seasons. To maintain this pace, it's going to either recycle plots over and over, or go so far into the realm of the absurd that it will kill itself off. It was never good enough to become the joke that Lost became, but it's following the same trajectory at this point. Like Lost, I will watch it until I can no longer stomach the absurdity    … 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

    From the beginning of the series, the 100 had three strikes against it, making its success seem almost miraculous.

Second, the show was a mid-summer replacement, something that almost never makes it passed it's first season, and finally it's on the CW, so most people assume it's just another teen drama, but the 100 is a lot more than that. The reason this show has survived and the reason it's been named one of the best shows on television that you're not watching, is because of it's terrific story lines, deep characters, and unique make up. When Entertainment Weekly said it's the most underrated shows on television they weren't kidding.

    150 years in the future, Earth has been all but destroyed by World War 3, and the remains of the human race, the lucky decedents of people who escaped the cataclysm, live on a space station called the Ark. Resources on the Ark are extremely limited and for that reason, crime is met with death, unless you're under the age of eighteen, in that case the punishment is imprisonment. After nearly 100 years in space, the Ark is dying and the leaders know their only hope for survival is to return to Earth, but can they withstand the radiation? In order to test this, they decide to send 100 of the least violent juvenile offenders down to the planet as test subjects. As the kids set up camp and learn to live on the planet, their accomplishments quickly take a backseat when they learn, they are not alone.

    Most TV shows that are based on books, never seem to be able to capture the essence of the main characters and for that reason people never really get a complete look at what the author intended. In the 100 saga, the skilled actors and the tremendous writing allow you to connect to characters in a way that goes above and beyond the original story. This is a show that also has many sub-plots, it's not simply about the kids on earth, the people in space, and the survivors on the planet. the viewer learns backstory through flashbacks and knows every character and their history intimately. As I watched this show, I really felt as though I was a member of this camp and I knew everybody, only a great show can accomplish this.

    This is a show that is so much more than just another CW teen drama, it is a look into the new direction the network is taking with shows like Arrow & The Flash. The 100 is a continuous story that you will not be able to stop watching. It is intense, exciting, and has more depth to the story than any show I've seen in a long time. If you can get over the fact that its a CW show and prominently features a group of teenagers, you will see one of the most interesting and dynamic science fiction shows to air on network television in years.    … Expand

The protagonists grow from stupid kids you want to strangle for their stereotypical "nobody understands me, **** society and rules" behavior into actual characters. What makes the first few episodes somewhat bland is exactly what makes all the others in the first season so exciting: They are dumb and somewhat innocent... until they are thrown into situations where they cannot afford to be either of these anymore.

    The show is essentially Battlestar Galactica on Earth, only without the supernatural stuff - and in my eyes, that's one of the best shows to imitate. I went from "meh, probably not worth my time" to "holy **** I've gotta watch every episode tonight" in about one hour. It's got a few cringeworthy moments and, yes, some science and logic has fallen victim to the nuclear war, but if you don't give the show at least a few episodes to get you hooked, you're making a mistake.    … Expand

    Instead what we get is One Tree Hill with some ripped-off costumes and story lines from Fallout.

    Not surprisingly, pretty teen-age girls end up running everything which of course is what you'd expect in a savage, tribal setting with no rules where only the strong survive - oh wait, that's the opposite of what always happens when anarchy reigns. The teenagers even consistently beat the crap out of guys twice their size which I suppose is supposed to represent the teenage desire to be independent or something but is simply forced and absurd. Here we could have shown how girls can find ways around physical domination through cleverness (like in the real world) but instead, all of them are female Bruce Lee whom the men blindly follow.

    Of course we also have a token lesbian here to show how hip-and-now the show is and once again, we could have had an interesting story with this character dealing with her homosexuality in the face of oppression but no, everyone accepts it like good little politically-correct savages.

    On the plus side, the show does rarely come up with an interesting twist such as killing a character that you didn't expect or having the characters do something terrible to survive. However, such things are supposed to be what the show is about in the first place, so it's like saying that this hamburger does occasionally taste like a hamburger and the rest of the time has all the appeal of a toilet rag.    … Expand

It's incomprehensible that this has been renewed for 3 seasons when it literally is the bottom of the barrel. The actors should be mortified to be on this. I can't imagine that it won't hurt their career (but then again they all suck as actors anyway.)

    It's almost like they're trying to copy Lost with teenagers, but Lost had some cool stuff in it that made you think. But this show doesn't have anything that makes me think. Just a bunch of kids running around and talking about making war or making peace with the grounders.

    It's not much of science fiction, since they don't seem to have any technology beyond what we currently have. And, I'm no environmental engineer, but the whole idea that they are running out of oxygen, yet have more than enough food and water, seems silly. Another thing that I noticed was that the space station was rotating, maybe that's where they get their 'gravity'? But if that is the case, their 'gravity' (centripetal force) is going in the wrong direction. In the other case, if they do have artificial gravity, why can't they land a space ship? I mean, they crashed on every single landing. And yet almost everybody lives.

    Then, the characters are so totally predictably stupid. Totally cliche. Oh ya, and it's always like they're trying to kill one of their friends or torture them, but in the next episode all is forgiven and they're best buds again. Also, Clark and her mom, even though they're the main characters, are total elitists. They're always right and so much better than everybody else. And everybody else just loves them because of what?

The 100 pulls this genre off quite well and does make some very good advancements in the first season. But its because of this big advancement that too much is packed into one season , no time is spend building up relationships with the characters , very little time was investigated bringing a understanding to what its like to live on the ark . In a few episodes , or a few days possibly 1 and a half weeks in the current setting of the story , all characters are full on working without any breaks . There was no signs of the director showing anyone sleeping , anything close to that would be the teasing sex scenes. So in reality they would be all walking zombies that all seem to have bullet holes and wounds in the obliques. Whenever somebody gets injured and seems as if there dying , there is always so much camera action on something that's quite easy recoverable. yes a knife or bullet to the obliques would hurt , but every character in the setting must have a permanent scar there. But negatives aside the 100 combines a great deal of action and romance , with exceptional camera quality and a reasonably good story line . Many demands the the viewer is greatly met and is a good recommendation for apocalypse lovers. But as being a good recommendation , you must have to like teens , and i mean teens a lot . The whole story and 70-80% of camera time is set on the teenage delinquents.The average person to aim at , according to the directors would be teens and middle aged persons, as the characters personalities might have a lot to relate to the viewers. So overall this is greatly recommended to someone who doesn't mind the apocalyptic , emotional trauma type series with occasional to high stabbing in the obliques. And this may be a spoiler so dont read on , but main characters never die , we all have learnt this.… Expand

    The space station crew is wasteful beyond belief and I'm shocked that they've survived for 97 years. On the other hand, the ground story is interesting enough, and all the characters are suitably attractive to look at, even if their dialog sometimes leaves quite a bit to be desired.

    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.
