| So I just recently starting watching The 100. It has two seasons so far (both of which are available on Netflix) and the third season starts in January ( ). The basic premise: - Quote :
- The series is set 97 years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the war. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live. Resources are scarce and all crimes no matter their nature or severity are punishable by death ("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark's life support systems are found to be critically failing, one hundred juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable" and sent to the surface in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again. The teens arrive on a beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community.
The biggest draw for me is that the female characters are all pretty badass in their own way. There's a lot of warriors, leaders, doctors, scientists, etc. I really can't recommend this show enough. There is a book series that it's sort of based on, but the show is better. | |
