The 100

I thought, yeah okay, I'll check out The 100. Need a bit of a filler show in the off season. But fuck, this show does not pull its punches. I knew next to nothing about the show except it was on the CW, and I was very much guilty of judging a book by its cover (or network I guess, which is probably odd given I watch half a dozen other shows on CW

The 100 is one of those shows that takes you by surprise, because you think it's going to be just another melodramatic CW show with teens being involved with stupid love triangles and ridiculous romances, but it totally isn't that at all. Quite impressive, really.

It definitely took me by surprise. It has a great look and feel and is not afraid to put its characters in some really messed up situations and actually have them make the bad decisions. They're flawed people living in a flawed and brutal world, and they don't shy away from that. It has awesome female characters too. A show I found myself greatly enjoying and will be looking forward to season 3.

I'd recommend it. Just give it a few episodes though, think it started to get better around ep 5, and season 2 was excellent. It's not the teen drama it first looks like.

Hee!! It is always the quiet shows...

There's always that extra kick of excitement when you weren't expecting something to be good and it is.
