Customer Ratings & Reviews

Did not watch show when broadcast because thought it might be another CW teenage angst shows. But saw great reviews and so figured to try Season 1. Reviews were right. Excellent concept. Good cast. Action and intrigue both on space station and on Earth. Kept me involved and just ordered Season 2 on DVD.

I don't understand the varied reviews of this show. The "100" are juvenile delinquents released from their space station prison sentences to populate a radiated earth: earth is most likely not habitable. But down they go, and when they get to earth they not only experience a "planet" for the first time, but they also have just been released from prison. So imagine, 100 irresponsible criminals get dropped on an earth that hasn't seen a human in 97 years; you might expect to see some strange behavior and you do. The setting is pretty awesome, the characters are interesting and unless the writers completely drop the ball on the story, then you can expect a pretty good show. Also note, all the bad reviews have come from people who have just seen a single episode (who's expectations were probably unrealistic in the first place). This is one of the better pilots I have seen.

The 100 is like a fine wine: it's a show that only gets better with age. Although the first few episodes seem like typical CW-fare, the emotional stakes and characters continue to develop with each subsequent episode. The story beings when 100 juvenile delinquents are sent down from their space station to the war torn earth, to see if it is inhabitable many years after a nuclear apocalypse. Questions of morality, survival, sacrifice, and cultural politics are the central themes in the first season, and continue on for the rest of the show. The 100 dares to ask questions that other shows are too scared to even acknowledge. It's worth your time, for sure. In my opinion, the blu-ray release is the way to watch this show. With a gorgeous picture quality and an impressive audio track, you will get the most bang for your buck with this release. All 13 episodes from the first season are included in this set. But don't worry because season two is already out to marathon after you finish that intense and shocking cliffhanger at the end of the first season.

A little slow to start but you'll soon be binge watching to get all you can.

Never heard of it before and took a gamble on it. Great job to me lol

I love sci-fi – and this show caught my attention. I would compare this show to be similar to Lost (which I also love), and Lord of the Fries. The characters are believable, even the "bad guys" – the desperation and their willingness to do whatever it takes to survive made that show more exciting. There are times that I actually had to pause to gather my nerve before I continued watching. The plot twists, here and there, made it more exciting. I know this is a TV show and not real life, I do feel sorry for the characters that they have to fend for themselves. I watched the original on Netflix, and now I have the opportunity to get a Blu-ray copy. (I did buy the DVD version of this, but I believe the compression rate was set too high, and there were parts that were pixelated.) I am hoping for the second season to go on sale, and I will buy that, too. If a sci-fi show with younger characters is for you, you will not be disappointed.

They did a great story,kept my interest all the way through.

An interesting plot and engaging characters make this show a cut above the usual CW fare. It's a binge-worthy trip you'll be glad you took.

Going in, I expected another run-of-the-mill post-apocalyptic teen drama. Well, it is that to some degree, but the writing so much better than the majority of what's out there. You grow to love characters that you originally disliked, and even become repulsed by a few of the likeable ones. Just as in real life, a character's actions can have deadly serious repercussions, but he or she may never actually see the consequences first hand. Main characters are constantly being muddied and bloodied physically and mentally, and at the end of the day the ramifications are real and none of them are above being killed off. When this realization sinks in, it truly makes for some very tense moments.

II'm not into TV shows but this one rocks, the characters are ones you can get to know. As the series progresses thru you ask yourself whats next the episodic style is awesome compared to the random episodes a lot of series do.. I recommend this show to anyone who wants to enjoy a good story and since this is only season 1 you'll b e like me at the end wanting to buy the next season to continue the adventure.

I was not aware this was even a show until my wife had purchased this series. I had seen it in passing through the room she was watching it in, but never gave it a chance until later. It is a great show about the human power struggle of survival at almost any means necessary. This is a good show that does not have to base everything around drugs or violence. Though there is a fair bit of violence.

I had never even seen this show when I bought it from Best Buy, but I took a chance on it since it was at such a great price. I am very happy I took that chance, as it's now one of my favorite TV shows currently airing! The show looks and sounds amazing on Blu-ray, and I can't wait to pick up the next two seasons on Blu-ray as well.

I found this at a price that could not be passed up . The fact that it was in blu Ray and included Digital copy clinched it for me. Not only did I get Best buy member points, But Best Buy sometimes have promotions running under Mypoints that give up to 3000 Mypoints for in store purchases. I received 200 for buying The 100.

I didn't know what to expect from this show. I watched the first episode really enjoyed it and proceeded to read the book. Which I know now was a mistake and almost put me off the show but after starting episode two I ended up binging on the rest of the series. It's exciting and filled with a good looking and acting cast.

This is a great series, well thought of and very original, I was disappointed when I found out that they were going to cancel it. They always cancel good shows and keep garbage like "the bachelor" on the air, but the network brought it back for an even better second season, and the third is coming too. Awesome show.

I got into this show when I ran out of things on netflix. I'm not usually a fan of shows from the CW because they are usually kind of terrible, or at least not great. I liked the idea of this show though. Kids get sent to a future earth where it is supposed to be uninhabitable. Definitely worth a try!

My friend and I watched this entire show when it first aired and then purchased it and watched it all again just in time for season 2 to start. We love this show! This show has a little bit of romance/action/adventure/futuristic style to it if you like any combo of the aforementioned you will love this show!

I was really pleasantly surprised how good this show is considering the books that it came from. Save yourself the time and skip the books and just watch the show. In fact I'd call it a must watch if you like either The Walking Dead or the The Road

Everyone needs to go get this show and watch it. It gets better and better as the seasons progress which usually doesn't happen with many TV shows. Most shows the seasons tend to get a little worse until the show is canceled but not this show.

I couldn't wait till I could buy the entire season. Normally I wouldn't buy an entire season of any show. But I have to say this is the only tv series I have not had any bored moments of hurry up to some action than am interested in again.
