You wish The 100 had budget, time and talent to produce grander verisimilitude. Still, the vision shines through, and the cast works hard to serve increasingly complex characters and relationships.
For longtime fans of The 100, the new season finds viewers rewarded with a deeper look at the characters, including what drives them and what it takes to have them make unexpected and sometimes questionable decisions.
The 100 is an amazing show, one of the best out there. Truly meaningful and intense all at once. I love it so much, I just finished watching the series for the second time. I'm sad to see it end once again but I love it so much and happy I watched it.
The good news is this modest show already has a number of things in its favor: Its pace is bracing, the choices are difficult and the danger the characters face is real.
The best TV/Netflix show i have seen in a very long time, only have 1 problem with it but that is Netflix's fault i believe, but if u have a Netflix account or live in the US i recommend watching all 7 seasons! (only 5 or so of the seasons is on Netflix sadly) u will not be disappointed
This show can easily be called 'How to be a complete Psychopath' as pretty much all the characters take no responsibility for their actions, turn on their friends and allies on a dime, and even dare to say that they are doing things for others. Clarke Griffin 'Wanheda' is by far the most revolting, delusional and selfish person i've ever seen in a tv show or movie. She repeatedly gets people killed instead of saving them, and has the audacity to pretend that she's doing it for others. This character is a walking contradiction and dangerous to everyone around her.
In this season the world is threatened by Primfaya, which is a green wave of radioactive... something? After four years of filming clearly no one on the production team has ever googled how radioactive energy or particles, as every representation in this show has been fictional and not realistic. As Primfaya is coming, people are murdering each other even more for silly reasons, and in the end it barely matters.
I could go on about how the writing is juvenile, cheap and pretentious, but that would imply that this is a show that should be taking seriously. If you take it with a big grain of salt there is entertainment value, especially after a day of work. At that point it will only aggravate you every time Clarke Griffin enter the screen.
I give it a 6/10. It's an average season of an average show.
For me, the series was great, but in fact the last part of the series was trivial and illogical, especially what happened between Bellamy and Clark, what Clark did really failed.
I had to stop watching after the 3rd season. At that point it became clear that the diverse characters, though numerous, were simply there to prop up the Character development of the White lead(s). In particular Clarke, though to a lesser extent Murphy and Octavia.
Additionally, it’s the White lead(s), grossly in particular Clarke, though again to a lesser extent Murphy and Octavia, who enjoy the pleasure of being able to commit the most horrific offenses, without any real consequences, and then get significant screen time to redevelop their character to endear themselves to the audience. This ensures the casual observer does not eviscerate them in the arena of public opinion. Thus, we ultimately feel sorry for the White character, and love them even more. This is the tried and true, though very tiring, trope of Hollywood programming Today. The SIGNIFICANT support from any and all diverse characters placates the masses further, yet still checks the diversity box for the program. At one time I thought, ‘well at least there is SOME diversity in the programming’. Until you realize it’s just a bread crumb from programming starved of true diversity representation. Save for too few nearly all-diverse casts. Note this is certainly not relegated to T.V. programming, but the big screen as well. (Here’s looking at you Spider-Man.)
While initially so excited to watch after seeing the representation. Especially with so many notable and celebrated diverse characters. But after watching each and every one, either be killed, or turned into horrific evil monsters before being killed. It appears nothing more than a bait and switch of diverse story telling.
In a NUTSHELL, the White Savior complex, and now the diverse SUPPORT of that character, is alive and well Today, and has been since the dawn of American programming… When will it end, or at least give way to a DIVERSE Savior complex??!?
