The 100 is an American science fiction series and is set ninety-seven years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out the life on earth. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space station in earth’s orbit prior to the war. The space stations altogether known as the Ark seem like a society, with a political administration, guards, farmers, engineers, teachers and all the others things needed for living. But the resources are scarce and life on Ark is limited, the political administration decides to send 100 juvenile prisoners onto the ground(earth). These perpetrators are trained so that they are able to survive on land. But what happens when you send teenagers to the ground with no adult supervision?


The air is survivable , breathable and fresh and the teenagers are mesmerized by the beauty of the planet they could only get a glimpse of from space. Prisoners are craving revenge as they were locked up of petty crimes and decide to cut off any source of communication with the political administration and medical staff. Clarke bold, daring, canny, strong, will-full and quick-witted character in the show played by Eliza Taylor wants to lead the crowd and wants them to keep their bands on which is how the Ark would know if they survived. But on the other hand, there is Bellamy with his sapient character played by bob morley who wants to lead too but does not want any communication with the Ark and increases the hatred among the prisoners.


The 100 is a long series comprising 7 seasons and 100 episodes. This might fade the interest of the viewers. Furthermore, the series seems repetitive as we proceed. The show is guilty of too rapid character development. From Finn (played by Thomas McDonell) from a winsome, captivating and charming man turns into a complete psychopath to Octavia (played by Marie Avgeropoulos) who lived under a floorboard must definitely lack physical or athletic skills turns into a daring, fearless and bold fighter in just few episodes.
