The 100 (2014)

The 100 is a tense, character-driven sci‑fi drama set 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors live aboard a dying space station called the Ark, where draconian rules and dwindling resources force leaders to make brutal choices. As life support fails, one hundred juvenile prisoners are declared expendable and sent back to the surface to see whether Earth is habitable again. When the teens arrive they find a beautiful but dangerous planet and must quickly learn to survive without the Ark’s infrastructure. They form fragile communities, wrestle with leadership and law, and face mutated wildlife, scarce supplies, and the fallout of their own mistakes. They soon discover they are not alone: hardened, tribal survivors (called Grounders) and other factions complicate every attempt at peace. Back on the Ark, political intrigue and desperate decisions raise the stakes for everyone. Watching The 100 you’ll experience relentless moral dilemmas, high-stakes action, and shifting alliances. The show blends survival drama, mystery, and political sci‑fi—featuring firefights and cliffhangers, intense personal relationships and romance, and evolving mythology as new threats and secrets appear. It’s gritty and often bleak, but driven by character growth and ethical conflict: the series asks how far people will go to survive and what kind of world they’ll build from the ashes.
