16 Reasons Why "The 100" Is Literally The Greatest TV Show Of All Time (2024)

FAQs

Why is The 100 the best show ever? ›

The show frequently explored and portrayed sensitive topics like loss. Loss and sacrifice were unfortunately common themes in this post-apocalyptic world, and the impact that death and grief had on the characters was realistically conveyed throughout all seasons.

I love the drama, because it's not all teenage drama after the first few episodes. It's truly about survival after a nuclear war, how human-kind responded, and how Earth evolved from it. Human-kind get spread throughout space and each culture adapted and created their own beliefs.

The 100 follows post-apocalyptic survivors from a space habitat, the Ark, who return to Earth nearly a century after a devastating nuclear apocalypse. The first people sent to Earth are a group of juvenile delinquents who encounter descendants of survivors of the nuclear disaster on the ground.

Overall, I think the viewing audience of this show depends wholly on maturity. It's an amazing show with positive role models and lots of great plot twists and character development, but there is also excessive violence and gore that could frighten young kids.

The post-apocalyptic drama ended in 2020 after a seventh and final season that wrapped filming just ahead of the Covid-19 shutdown.

100 is a perfect square number and its square root is 10. 100 is the basis of percentages (“per cent” meaning “per hundred” in Latin), with 100 percent being a full amount. There are 100 pennies in one dollar.

The 100 ended with its seventh season because showrunner Jason Rothenberg felt it was the right time to conclude the story of the characters and didn't want to overstay their welcome.

It signals general approval or acceptance.

The 💯 emoji can also be used in place of “I agree 100%.” There are a bunch of different variations of this, but all of them are generally good. If someone sends you a 💯 after you've asked them a question, this is their way of saying “yes.”

By the end of the series finale, "The Last War," Clarke (Eliza Taylor), Raven (Lindsey Morgan), Murphy (Richard Harmon), and the rest of the (few) remaining juvenile delinquents who were sent down to Earth in the very first episode finally found themselves together, alive, and with no more wars to fight.

Starting in season 1 as a 16-year-old, Octavia is physically around 33 by the last season of The 100, and chronologically 158 years old.

Is The 100 book inappropriate? ›

I rated it 12 and up due to there being gore and violence, sexual references and mild language. I wouldn't recommend this for younger children. I would explain what it's about but every little detail can be a major spoiler! I hope you enjoy the book!

On November 5, more than two years after The CW ordered a prequel spinoff for The 100, news broke the project was officially dead. The proposed spinoff, glimpsed in the 100 backdoor-pilot episode “Anaconda,” would have rewound the action to the time of the nuclear apocalypse that started it all.

The 100 challenges its viewers' morality by allowing the show's protagonists to make questionable decisions. It's up to us to determine how far our goodwill reaches, and how much it takes before a character's past crimes can be forgiven.
