100 years in the future, when the Earth has been abandoned due to radioactivity, the last surviving humans live on an ark orbiting the planet — but the ark won't last forever. So the repressive regime picks 100 expendable juvenile delinquents to send down to Earth to see if the planet is still habitable.
This show is a hook and really interesting, and most definitely one of the best TV shows I've ever watched. Continually challenged my reasoning on leadership decisions and taking responsibilities, especially when one is faced with few or no options.Lots of gritty moments, full of suspense, and you would always anticipate something would go wrong, even while trying to keep, and negotiate for peace, question always is "from who". Just reflects on the things we do in life itself for survival, relationships are not only questioned but lost and regained-@Thelonius &Marcus, characters sticking together irrespective of their differences-@Murphy&Emori, @Octavia&Bellamy, having an emotional heart amidst decision taking-@Clark.........the list is endless.
Specially loved @Octavia for her spark plug attitude, big-ups to @Murphy- the only thing he couldn't sell to survive is "The Movie Director". Great Movie.
My current favorite **obsession**! I've got to admit that it takes a lot for me to get into a tv series, and The 100 delivers. I like the suspense and the character's strong leadership roles, and compelling performances from the lead actors.
_fun facts_
* Bellamy and Clarke are actually married in real life.
* David J. Peterson invented the fictional languages of Dothraki and Valyrian for Game of Thrones. He is also the one who developed the Trigedasleng language for The Grounders on The 100.

The premise seems interesting, but the writing is hilariously bad. There is scifi written in the 20th century that is more accurate and interesting than this garbage. The anti nuclear themes made me think the original story was written in the sixties, which would have explained a lot, but it's actually from 2013, which makes the "science" even more laughable. The only scifi thing that they got right is the B movie acting. But hey, there's teen drama, so let's make 7 seasons out it!
