When nuclear Armageddon destroys civilization on Earth, the only survivors are those on the 12 international space stations in orbit at the time. Three generations later, the 4,000 survivors living on a space ark of linked stations see their resources dwindle and face draconian measures established to ensure humanity's future. Desperately looking for a solution, the ark's leaders send 100 juvenile prisoners back to the planet to test its habitability. Having always lived in space, the exiles find the planet fascinating and terrifying, but with the fate of the human race in their hands, they must forge a path into the unknown.

james o the series is a Lost as a post-apocalypic series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Bob H A great allegoric series and foreshadowing, writers and actors. S1 fantastic beginning, half-way through the 2nd season, based on more truth than most know. Tyranny is never right under any circumstances, this series makes that point over and over — being aware many would agree with the wrong side. Being worth continuing/saving and doing the right thing is the way, to which most/all of the world leadership, governments and military are contrary. We intend to change that — technological, legal and political constitutional and human rights fighters — and fighting to avoid the catastrophic apocalypse which led to 100 Day's premise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Josh W Amazing season one to set up the plot for the future of the show. Enjoyed all the characters and their separate plots. I always end up coming back to this show when I need comfort. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Cody H Don’t understand at all why everybody is praising this series. In the first episode there are so many confusing characters and it hits off such strange everybody being criminals send to earth. The acting is bad, as well the overall cliché moments. The romance is terrible and everybody just seems to be lost and confused of being in a lord of the flies setting… How on earth did this series got 76% on rotten tomatoes Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Luca L Pure poison for the brain... Filming, photography, directing, all so cheap that I could not believe my eyes. The real nightmare is the writing, simply abominuous, I kept watching it for some time waiting for the reason why so many reviewers posted a positive feedback. Only explanation: some review factory in a remote part of the world has been appointed with the task to advertise this biblical plague. No other explanation is possible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Audience Member 76% ? this was terrible. stichted together, cliched . the onyl interesting concept of exploring a psot apocalyptic earth was compeltely overshadowed by melodrama , bad acting and terrible editting.
