The show is entertaining, but if you are going to have a show with drama or suspense, you can’t continually have your characters do nonsensical things.

Your plot can’t be something that hasn’t been given critical thought. The writing in this show is some the worst I have ever seen, but I keep watching because it is entertaining. I’m invested in 2 characters despite the horrendous dialogue they have to work with, so I guess I have to give the show runners props for that. Ultimately, I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody who enjoys quality entertainment. However, if you can avoid being critical and just accept the embarrassingly bad writing of this show, then you can find some enjoyment from it. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unlike Rotten Tomatoes, I can write the review for the entire series here. This is the most disappointing show I have ever seen start to finish. It's a sci-fi genre, yet they barely play into that at all, and play into teen drama instead. We're revisiting a world that went through radiation. They teased a giant ape, a giant fish thing, and a deer, only to never see another animal again. Seriously, what gives? Did you run out of budget for more CGI monsters? How come there were so little animals or creatures of any kind for the rest of the series? Do the writers even know why people watch sci-fi? Also, sci-fi is generally far fetched, but this borders on pure fantasy nonsense about halfway through the series. We want more scary radiated animals and monsters; we want more sci-fi based elements; we want less fantasy nonsense; and we want less teen drama. The plot made little sense, sending in delinquents to a planet we didn't even know was safe, but there were many cool plot elements that kept me in, however they disappointed because the writers don't understand how to appeal to fans of sci-fi. This was completely disappointing through and through. It's like the writers also forgot they added things. The writing and characters grew worse and worse, and the acting became so unbearable. This is easily the series I regret watching the most. Absolutely garbage. It's a teen drama dressed in sci-fi clothes. Expand

At that point it became clear that the diverse characters, though numerous, were simply there to prop up the Character development of the White lead(s). In particular Clarke, though to a lesser extent Murphy and Octavia.
Additionally, it’s the White lead(s), grossly in particular Clarke, though again to a lesser extent Murphy and Octavia, who enjoy the pleasure of being able to commit the most horrific offenses, without any real consequences, and then get significant screen time to redevelop their character to endear themselves to the audience. This ensures the casual observer does not eviscerate them in the arena of public opinion. Thus, we ultimately feel sorry for the White character, and love them even more. This is the tried and true, though very tiring, trope of Hollywood programming Today. The SIGNIFICANT support from any and all diverse characters placates the masses further, yet still checks the diversity box for the program. At one time I thought, ‘well at least there is SOME diversity in the programming’. Until you realize it’s just a bread crumb from programming starved of true diversity representation. Save for too few nearly all-diverse casts. Note this is certainly not relegated to T.V. programming, but the big screen as well. (Here’s looking at you Spider-Man.)
While initially so excited to watch after seeing the representation. Especially with so many notable and celebrated diverse characters. But after watching each and every one, either be killed, or turned into horrific evil monsters before being killed. It appears nothing more than a bait and switch of diverse story telling.
In a NUTSHELL, the White Savior complex, and now the diverse SUPPORT of that character, is alive and well Today, and has been since the dawn of American programming… When will it end, or at least give way to a DIVERSE Savior complex??!?

good concept but it devolves to artificial drama created by stupid characters that stall at critical moments for no good reason just to create fake tension and irritate the viewer.
