      How would you survive in a place you’d never been to with nothing but the clothes you had on? That’s what happened to a group of delinquent teens in The 100, who are sent from their city in high in space, down to Earth, 97 years after it was made inhabitable by a nuclear apocalypse. The Ark has been humanity’s home for 3 generations. The plot thickens when it is decided that there are too many people now and a decision has to be made to find more room or sacrifice people in the space city.

      In season one of this incredible sci-fi thriller, a group of 100 teens are ‘sacrificed’ and sent to the Earth to see if it’s safe to return. Everyone on the Ark thinks the planet is completely polluted and that nothing is alive there. However, when the group arrives, they find that, not only is the planet safe, but that there are also groups of people and even cities of survivors of the destruction. They name these people the ‘Grounders’. The extraordinary struggle of these teens consists of trying to survive on their own in a foreign environment, fighting the hostile Grounders and trying to re-establish communication with the Ark.

      The 100 is an amazing and, at times, terrifying sci-fi show with a great philosophical question behind it. What would you do? The cast does a brilliant performance and the camerawork is very creative. The writers have done an excellent job at creating this unique edge-of-your-seat action thriller. All things considered, The 100 tells a captivating story. I have found myself agreeing and angrily disagreeing with some of the decisions the characters make but, at the end of each episode, I am dying to know what happens next. For me, that’s the mark of a great TV series and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes sci-fi or survival thrillers.

      The character of Atticus Finch

      What does it mean to be a fair and just person?

      At one point, they experience the death of a neighbour, who was horribly addicted to morphine.

      "... when you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through, no matter what."

      He influenced many to become lawyers.

      This character is one of the strongest and most just in all American literature and, although some may see controversy, I believe his heart and intentions were in the right place.
