I have enjoyed watching a critically acclaimed American drama series recently called The 100. I am not sure if any of you have seen it, but it has just finished its third season. I have not finished watching the third season yet, but I have watched the first and second seasons and I thought it was a very well put together programme. It is set in the future with the survivors of a nuclear Armageddon on earth living in international space stations in orbit around earth. As the resources of the space station dwindle they send 100 juvenile prisoners back to earth which they believe is uninhabited to see if they can live there and from that point things get particularly interesting.
It has a 90% rating from Rotten Tomatoes which is always a good start and that is from the critics, although average audience score is lower. I think it is very well scripted and the character development is superb. The characters are often faced with very interesting moral dilemmas, such as whether to save their friends or to effectively murder a whole lot of innocent people and it is probably more true to life in terms of the decisions that the people do take. Some of the reviews suggested it is very similar to Lost which was one of my favourite TV programmes, but I would not say that. To me, it is actually more like Game of Thrones, but set in the future. Let me know if you have seen it and on which channel, because I have been watching it via Netflix, and what you think of it if you have watched a few episodes. The series is shot in Vancouver in Canada and most of the main lead actresses are strangely enough from Australia. It is actually fascinating how many Australians turn up in Los Angeles and make it in Hollywood.

I didn't like Games of Thrones or Lost at all so I don't really think I would enjoy this. I don't like it when things get a bit brutal. The series that I do watch I have also noticed that Australian actors are in it, so I think we will then be seeing alot more of them.

Season One was in a word: "Brilliant". The second season dwindled for me. It felt like they were trying to hard. Each to their own.

I have heard of it before, and hats where it ended. However I will definitely give it a try, I love a good series that keeps you on the edge of your seat

I've watch the first season and did enjoy it very much, I missed a few episodes of season 2 and has stopped watching it. I want to finish it though so it will go on my list of things to do this coming holiday.

I'm not a huge science fiction/futuristic movie watcher. I did however enjoy Divergent-I'm not sure if 100 has the same kind of a storyline. I wont go out of my way to watch 100 but if I do happen to come across it I may watch it and be pleasantly surprised like with Divergent.

I have actually been on the look out for something new to watch. We just finished "Stranger Things" so I will definitely give this series a try.

Many people have their own interests in movies/series, and I am more of a comedy person. I do enjoy a good drama every now and them and some action movies grab my attention but I could never really get into Game of Thrones. Many will say I am absolutely crazy but I do however always give something new a try and who knows, maybe this series will interest me. I will give it a try.

I'm not big on futuristic type of movies, I also hardly ever get time to watch TV or movies. Once in a "blue moon" if the opportunity arises I make a movie day and just watch movies which I really enjoy. The series sounds interesting will keep it in mind for sure

I have never seen this before as I'm not a series person, It looks like a good one though but not for me I don't think I have the time for series, I rather sit and watch a movie and got over and done with not series after series:

I love watching series, I enjoy drama and romance as well as comedy, I haven't watched this series yet, but if I come across it I will definitely see if its worth the watch!

Telling the truth, no time to watch any series, if I have chance to watch only one program then I miss on others, but I will look out for "the 100", sounds interesting

I unfortunately tend to live under a rock or pehaps just don't watch enough TV as I prefer being outside and seeing my friends. But this sounds like something worth watching and when I have some downtime I will definitely check it out

Do not watch TV much anymore. If I do, it is series I am carrying on with. Much prefer to sit there with a book. Not mad into sci-fi either - more into fantasy ie Game of Thrones. Though I read Raymond E Feist whom is a bit of both.

I love Game of Thrones but I don't think I would enjoy this series - science fiction is definitely not my cup of tea. Although I didn't think I would enjoy The Martian and I surprisingly did... We are just spoilt for choice these days! All the series I watch have come to an end which is a good thing so I can focus on exams - maybe I will give an episode a try after November.

My sons and husband loved this programme. They enjoyed every episode. I was never one for sci-fi stories, but had to grow a liking in it because of my family members who live for their sci-fi stories. From what they have told me it does sound like a very good story with real life drama in it.

It sounds interesting. I only watch movies when I have time.
Maybe I will download some series to watch.

I don't have much time to watch TV, in fact, I moved into my house in March and have still not bothered connecting my TV. I use my Walka to watch sport and Carte Blanch - talk about primitive.

I was actually watching a couple of series the other night to find a good one to start watching. I didn't really find one that I actually enjoyed but will definitely download this one and see what it's all about.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! I didn't know there was a third season! I neeeeeeeeeed to watch! The first two seasons were amazing and I wanted more... I wonder why it took so long for them to release the third season though.
I can't remember which channel I watched it on. I think it could have been M-Net or one of those Series channels on DSTV.

I have watched The 100 but I have heard that it is an extremely interesting series and it's easy to get hooked on. I'm not much of a fan of any series/movie set in the future but I suppose if you're keen on that it is something that you would enjoy. My cousin is extremely keen on this show and also has been watching it on Netflix.
