The 100 (pronounced The Hundred[1]) is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series that premiered on The CW during the 2013–14 American television season,[2][3][4] on Wednesday, March 19, 2014.[5]
The series, developed by Jason Rothenberg, is based on a book of the same name, the first in a trilogy by Kass Morgan.[6] On January 11, 2015, The CW renewed the series for a third season.[7] It is expected to premiere mid-season in 2016.[8]
Premise
The series is set 97 years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors lived on 12 space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the war. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live under the leadership of Chancellor Jaha.[1] Resources are scarce, and all crimes - regardless of their nature or severity - are punishable by ejection into space ("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark's life-support systems are found to be critically failing, 100 juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable" and sent to the surface—nearby former Washington, D.C.[9]—in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again, in a program called "The 100", for which the show is named. The teens arrive on a seemingly pristine planet they have only seen from space. They attempt to find refuge and supplies at an old military installation, Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Unfortunately, they landed some distance from the intended target and soon face other problems. Confronting both the wonders and the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. They soon discover that not all humanity was wiped out—some people on Earth, called Grounders, survived the war, and there are more dangers lurking—Reapers (Grounders who have become cannibals) and Mountain Men (who live in Mount Weather, The 100's original destination).

Reception
An estimated 2.7 million American viewers watched the series premiere, which received an 18–49 rating of 0.9. It is considered the most-watched show in its time-slot on The CW since 2010, with the series Life Unexpected.[17] On Rotten Tomatoes, the show's first season was certified "fresh", with 72% of professional reviewers reviewing it positively, with a consensus of "Although flooded with stereotypes, the suspenseful atmosphere helps make The 100 a rare high-concept guilty pleasure." On Metacritic, the first season scores 63 out of 100 points, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[18] The second season was met with more favorable reviews, holding a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.[19] In a review of the season 2 finale, Kyle Fowle of A.V. Club said, "Very few shows manage to really push the boundaries of moral compromise in a way that feels legitimately difficult. Breaking Bad did it. The Sopranos did it. Game Of Thrones has done it. Those shows never back down from the philosophical murkiness of their worlds, refusing to provide a tidy, happy ending if it doesn’t feel right. With “Blood Must Have Blood, Part Two,” The 100 has done the same, presenting a finale that doesn’t shy away from the morally complex stakes it’s spent a whole season building up".[20] Maureen Ryan of The Huffington Post in another positive review wrote, "I can say with some assurance that I've rarely seen a program demonstrate the kind of consistency and thematic dedication that "The 100" has shown in its first two seasons. This is a show about moral choices and the consequences of those choices, and it's been laudably committed to those ideas from Day 1."[21]
Brian Lowry of The Boston Globe said, "Our attraction to Apocalypse TV runs deep, as our culture plays out different futuristic possibilities. That's still no reason to clone material, nor is it a reason to deliver characters who are little more than stereotypes."[22] Allison Keene of The Hollywood Reporter gave a negative review to the show, and writes "The sci-fi drama presents The CW's ultimate vision for humanity: an Earth populated only by attractive teenagers, whose parents are left out in space."[23] Kelly West of Cinema Blend gave it a more positive review while noting, "CW's Thrilling New Sci-fi Drama Is A Keeper. CW's The 100 seeks to explore that concept and more with a series that's about equal parts young adult drama, sci-fi adventure and thriller. It takes a little while for the series to warm up, but when The 100 begins to hit its stride, a unique and compelling drama begins to emerge."[24] IGN also gave the show a more positive review. IGN editor Eric Goldman writes, "Overcoming most of its early growing pains pretty quickly, The 100 was a very strong show by the end of its first season. But Season 2 elevated the series into the upper echelon, as the show become one of the coolest and most daring series on TV these days."[25]
