What are your thoughts on The 100 as a science fiction series? (lemmy.world)

I recently revisited The 100 and was curious how other science fiction fans view it today. What began as a survival story gradually evolved into a series that explored leadership, morality, artificial intelligence, tribalism, and the consequences of difficult choices. While some seasons were stronger than others, I thought the show consistently raised interesting ethical questions and gave several characters meaningful development throughout its run. For those who have watched it, which season was your favorite, which character had the best arc, and how do you think the series compares to other modern sci-fi television shows?

I really enjoyed it when it was airing. I don't know if I'd enjoy a rewatch today, because the writing is rough in several places.

I feel its kind of similar to agents of shield where they outlived their original plan and had to adapt and come up with new plot arcs (and I think it shows, in both series). Though, I think their forced adaptions created some of the best new and interesting sci-fi concept explorations to come to TV for a while.

I'm also a sucker for "then it got worse" type shows, where the characters are struggling and doing their best to improve their situation, but every step forward is followed by being pushed a couple steps back through no fault of their own.

All that being said, I like S2 of The 100 best. S1 of the show is probably up there, starting after

. I think once that happens, its clear this is not a typical CW show.
