Full Season Trailer

Ninety-seven years ago, nuclear Armageddon decimated planet Earth, destroying civilization. The only survivors were the 400 inhabitants of 12 international space stations that were in orbit at the time. Three generations have been born in space, the survivors now number 4,000, and resources are running out on their dying "Ark" - the 12 stations now linked together and repurposed to keep the survivors alive. Draconian measures including capital punishment and population control are the order of the day, as the leaders of the Ark take ruthless steps to ensure their future, including secretly exiling a group of 100 juvenile prisoners to the Earth's surface to test whether it's habitable.

Reviews

Vulture: The 100 is better than it has to be, a little more exciting and surprising and intense. It's that margin that excites me about the show

USA Today: 'The 100' does a 180 from CW's usual fare

Newsday: A strongly acted thriller, which seems to add another intense dimension weekly.

Ed Bark: The 100 ends up being sci-fi fun for all ages--with a spine tingle or two also within these realms of possibilities.

Pittsburgh Post Gazette: "The 100" isn't as deep, thoughtful and artful as some cable series (think: "The Americans," "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad") but in a TV season that has given viewers such lackluster broadcast network efforts as "Resurrection," "Believe" and "Crisis," "The 100" proves itself superior to many of its freshman drama peers.

Oh, pretty ladies.

No sign of Ratsky, must have not had a call-back.

Not every show can have a hunky Nostradamus

 

[maxcriden]

Ooh, how gruesome is it going to be? My wife had some trouble with the cow in Under the Dome. Should I be expecting a lot of animal-related violence?

Great OT BTW, thanks for putting this together!

 

[G-Fex]

good thing earth managed to save and preserve the good looking young adults together.


Wait a second, what's April o' Neil doing in the CW Zone?

 

[TheOddOne]

Must have asked too much money. Ratsky is all about that premium lifestyle now.

 

[Cyan]

a spaceship housing humanity's lone survivors sends 100 juvenile delinquents back to Earth in hopes of possibly re-populating the planet.

...

Well, I guess if they do a good job, it won't be the first time a good show has come from a dumb premise.

 

[CrazyDude]

Why in the world you save 100 delinquents and not 100 of the brightest and best?

 

[Byronic Hero]

It comes on after Arrow, right? If so, I'll give it a shot, since that time slot hasn't been occupied by something I want to watch in a while.

 

[Clevinger]

gotta say, I love that poster

 

[Impeccable]

Why in the world you save 100 delinquents and not 100 of the brightest and best?

It's not nearly as sexually appealing.

 

[Beaulieu]

Why in the world you save 100 delinquents and not 100 of the brightest and best?

have you read the OP ? takes place 97 after the dizaster. I dont think they are 97+ years old juvenile delinquants. born on the ship brah.

 

[akira28]

Why in the world you save 100 delinquents and not 100 of the brightest and best?

Aliens don't give a fuck.

also probably that Dr Pleb alien dude. It's all a game to him.

also why would there be tumorous mutant deer running around 100 years later where the aliens would elect to set up the colony of last surviving humans?

This is as dumb as Earth 2

 

[Piecake]

Why in the world you save 100 delinquents and not 100 of the brightest and best?

Maybe the spaceship is overcrowded? Its a win-win. Get rid of 100 bad kids and have them possibly create a colony on earth. Head dudes would find colonizing earth again unlikely for this to make sense.

 

[Tucah]

I'm not entirely sold yet but I'll leave the channel on after Arrow and give it a shot.

 

[JDSN]

Washington was incredible in Blue Caprice, so its good so see him getting job again, is he still a dick?

 

[Amagon]

Aliens don't give a fuck.

also probably that Dr Pleb alien dude. It's all a game to him.

also why would there be tumorous mutant deer running around 100 years later where the aliens would elect to set up the colony of last surviving humans?

This show could be 10 times more awesome if Dr. Pleb is in it.

 

[ivysaur12]

gotta say, I love that poster

The poster and tagline are fucking great.

...

Well, I guess if they do a good job, it won't be the first time a good show has come from a dumb premise.

The idea is that they don't know if Earth is actually habitable at all. Which is why they send these kids instead of killing them.

 

[Funky Papa]

Somewhat interested about it, although I'm getting some awful Terranova cum sexual tension vibes.

 

[arts&crafts]

I want to like CW shows but the acting and effects are usually just so horrible I turn it off. I will watch this tonight but I am guessing it will be the same thing

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Somewhat interested about it, although I'm getting some awful Terranova cum sexual tension vibes.

No worries, mate, they're just gonna wrestle that muta-deer and stick a thumb up it's arse!

 

[Shadow780]

Apparently only the beautiful survives the apocalypse.

 

[Tabby]

Why in the world you save 100 delinquents and not 100 of the brightest and best?

I thought this at first.
Maybe because there aren't that many survivors left and it's better to not risk the best and brightest.

 

[anaron]

Maybe because there aren't that many survivors left and it's better to not risk the best and brightest.

That's precisely why. It's a test and they're willing to risk those considered expendable.

 

[akira28]

I feel like this was a sci-fi novel written in the freaky 70s.
With xeno-lesbianism and gigantic living colony ships.

 

[JDSN]

Apparently only the beautiful survives the apocalypse.

I can tell the girl at the back is considered the ugly duck.

 

[arts&crafts]

I feel really bad for the mutated deer in the OP

 

[ivysaur12]

Also: Kelly Hu is only in the pilot.

 

[anaron]

Also: Kelly Hu is only in the pilot.

Oy, I'll fix that. Thanks.

also

 

[Leeness]

Oy, I'll fix that. Thanks.

Lmaooooooo I love Beasties, they're so funny. The show is on hiatus and they're going nuts.

Looking forward to checking this show out!

 

[Extra Sauce]

Dat CW nuclear fallout.

 

[anaron]

Will be watching it later but it's on in 5 mins for East Coast.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

No sign of Ratsky, must have not had a call-back.

Movin' on to greener pastures, son!

Not every show can have a hunky Nostradamus

Unfortunately.

Must have asked too much money. Ratsky is all about that premium lifestyle now.

I'm actually looking for a personal assistant/live in masseuse. You interested, brah?

 

[Ripclawe]

*SPEWS DRINK!*

WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE!

 

[lordfroakie]

It's on rn? 0_o

 

[PhoncipleBone]

*SPEWS DRINK!*

WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE!

I laughed so hard when I heard it. Only CW show I watch not to use it yet is Supernatural.

 

[Paskil]

They all look awfully made up for being in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Impossible to suspend disbelief.

 

[Chucker]

*SPEWS DRINK!*

WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE!

They paid a lot of money to breathe it in.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Wtf at Desmond's accent. Lol

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

This bad boy is making me lol

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Thanks for making the thread. Eliza is the next in a long line of Australian soap opera beauties to tke her talents to CW. I think this show has ratings and tumblr potential.

 

[RS4-]

Will watch, has Desmond and Jesus' lady friend from POI.

 

[evanmisha]

Awesome premise, will definitely check this out.

 

[Ripclawe]

The sister is completely sane. Lets do something fun and crazy on a nuclear wasteland!

 

[lordfroakie]

1 black guy vs all the whitemen :x

 

[Chucker]

I didn't recognize Desmond, brotha. I have failed LostGAF.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Hey! It's Ben Fong-Torres from Almost Famous.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

GIANT EEL

NOPE

 

[G0523]

GIANT EEL

NOPE

1 Down. 99 to--

Never mind. She's alive. :/

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Give a group of 98 teenagers free reign of Earth, with no laws whatsoever?


Sure, this can only end well.
