    Still the best show around. Like every show that has ever existed for more than a season, it has a couple of letdown episodes and necessarily dumb character decisions that fall a bit flat (but then again, the characters are all in constantly stressful and deadly situations, making bad decisions more likely), but it's all in service to a powerful payoff to an arc they've been buildingStill the best show around.

It's a totally messed-up and bloody world that the creators have here, but it's also bloody brilliant in its own sci-fi action way!… Expand

    Highlights:

    - Fantastic way the plot came together, especially with the flame being ALLIE 2.0 and how the world ended/grounder politics began.

    - Grounder politics were very interesting to see, The 100 really excels at world building.

    - Fantastic recurring characters, my top 3 being Erica Cerra (ALLIE and Becca), Alycia Debnam Carey (Lexa), and Zach McGowan (Roan)

    Disappointments

    - High death toll. The amount of characters killed was exceedingly high even for a show in the context of The 100.

    Overall fantastic season!    … Expand

    Personally, season 3 was by far my favorite. What a lot of people aren't getting is that this show isn't meant for everyone to survive. Yeah, some of my personal favorite characters died, but I understand that this show is about survival. I recommend to those that dig the gore, dark vibes from a show. This isn't a unicorn and rainbows kind of show. I really can't stand all the backlashPersonally, season 3 was by far my favorite.

    "Wanheda: Part 2" This was an EPIC episode. Hands down my favorite so far. I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS EPISODE! I'm so happy right now. Every moment was so deliciously satisfying and beautifully directed, I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen for one second. I will say it again, my FAVORITE episode of the 100 so far!

Right now i'm just like, a lot of information just exploded inside my brain with so many emotions running through my head! Too many feels! The anticipation bottling up inside me for what happens next is too extreme. So I guess it goes without saying, I cannot wait for next week's episode! Bring it on episode 3!… Expand

    Only two episodes in this season, but anyone with eyes can see the upgrade in production value. It's a creative, fearless show, and the cast is as solid as it's ever been. The 100 has one of the strongest protagonists on network television in Clarke Griffin, and it knows it. 10/10 so far.

    Love this show. Amazing in so many ways. Not afraid to mix it up, get dirty. Pretty good representation, never mind what some people say. Great actors. Decent plot. Unpredictable. Thrilling, even. Remarkable for a show aimed at teens. Maybe comes off as too harsh sometimes.
    All in all, a good show. Will keep watching.

    This season had a weird start with the AI storyline, however it gets so good. Although there are many upsetting and sad moments it makes the storyline so much better and more interesting. Favourite season so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review will most likely be updated but so far I'm very impressed by the subject matter the writers have tackled and their ability to keep this show moving. It can be argued that The 100 was at its most effective the first season when it focused on the "kids." The situations were all easy to relate to, with compelling characters and plenty of action to keep a viewer entertained throughout, but no post-Apocalyptic story would be complete without a broader understanding of what took place to create this planet rooted in tribal conflicts. The writers gave us one aspect of it in season two, telling us the story of Mt. Weather. This season they take on the Ark, how it was created and what ultimately led to it crashing back down to earth.

    There is a tremendous amount of material and the writers are plundering everything they can find, including Shakespeare. This might be a bit of a turnoff for some teenagers, who don't like to have to wade through all this nonsense like they would high school literature class, but it gives the central characters meaning. Clarke has become a wonderfully complex character and her relation to Lexa goes far beyond what anyone could have imagined. Octavia has similarly grown in richness. Her transformation into a Grounder is now complete thanks to Indra. These two characters represent what the transition to life on earth really means while everyone else around them continue to struggle to impose their own order, save Kane, who seems to be the only adult who understands the girls. Abbey is as clueless as ever.

    The exposition can at times be cumbersome, but much of it is needed to explain the rival forces that make up the "Grounders." I thought Lincoln was underused, as he has spent much of season three in jail. The writers don't seem to know what to do with him, which is a shame. However, they have given us a pair of very compelling siblings in Roan and Ontari, who appear lifted straight out of Shakespeare. Pulling together a coalition of the 12 tribes proves to be no easy matter for Lexa as she battles the Ice Queen and her children.

    There are plenty of allusions here to the early colonial days in America, and the survivors of the Ark are clearly meant to be the early colonialists. Will their firepower be enough to overcome the vast horde that wants their blood? Lexa proves to be quite cunning but she has much to overcome, including her own inner circle of advisers.

    The "kids" are now forced to navigate this reimposed adult world, feeling like their own experiences matter little. Only Kane appears to realize that they are the bridge to a new world, but has to wrestle with opposing forces in his own camp, which has been renamed Arcadia. Fitting, given some of the early Utopian attempts in America. Jaha has returned as a savior of sorts, peddling his "City of Light" like someone offering LSD tablets at a 60s rock festival. This sub-story doesn't fit very well with the main story, but I assume is being saved for next season.

    Again, there are many twists and turns, so I shouldn't get ahead of myself, as I still have 6 episodes to go. But, I have to give credit where credit is due and the creators of The 100 have come up with one of the most entertaining sci-fi/fantasy stories in quite a while. Good job!    … Expand

    Great season, fascinating plot, solid acting. I'll admit AI is one of my favorite subjects, making it more interesting to me than some others, apparently. I'll also admit some characters became annoying, but this happens in every TV show, and I've seen nearly everything. The best characters easily make up for it. Looking forward to season 4.

    Season 3 was so emotional and hard to watch at times but it really picked up in the second half and reminded of the show that I first fell in love with. It's amazing to see our main characters work together and recognize that they are, indeed, better together. Lots of amazing themes and acting! Bob Morley was a stand-out. Can't wait for Season 4!

    If still covered in The CW’s tween sheen, and occasionally reliant on frustrating character archetypes, The 100‘s ultimate goal to thrill is so relentlessly achieved, that that list in your head may as well start making room near the top.

    The good elements of season three--and there are quite a few--may allow the show to rise above and/or excise the weak elements and return to top form by mid-season. We’ll just have to see.

    You wish The 100 had budget, time and talent to produce grander verisimilitude. Still, the vision shines through, and the cast works hard to serve increasingly complex characters and relationships.
