The 100

There's something with post apocalyptic movies and TV series that fascinates me. It makes me think what I would do if it were to happen in real life. 

I am watching this TV series based on a book by Kass Morgan. The 100 is set in another post-apocalyptic era that premiered last March and currently airing its second season.

The story starts with a number of survivors living on a space station floating above the Earth, called as The Ark. These people are the remaining survivors when a devastating nuclear war took place 97 years ago and wiped out almost all life on the planet. Well, that's as far as the survivors know. As expected, resources on the space station became scarce and life-support starts to fail. If you were to ask me, they were lucky to have survived that long. 

At the Ark, a group of people, called the council, works as the governing body with all the political drama still in place. To check if earth is habitable once more, they sent a hundred juvenile prisoners to do it. Though thinking that these kids 
will not survive, thus doing a suicide mission since they need to conserve the remaining oxygen that they have left. 

Since the 100 that was sent are composed of juvenile teens, this is where all the conflict, drama and action starts. As well as the typical moral dilemma. There's our good guys that are sometimes bad, and our bad characters that tend to be good.

This show reminds me of BattleStar Galactica. Unlike BattleStar Galactica, they do not have Cylons as enemies, but humans who were able to survive on earth. As far as Season 1 is concerned, the 100 have encountered the grounders, reapers and the mountain men. 

Now, if you're into post-apocalyptic stories, try this one! xx
