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.

Gavin P @gavaperk22 Feb 25 An incredibly strong, dark season. The time jump reinvents the show in a way, and changes a lot of dynamics quite a bit. Although I do not agree with some of the writing (Bellamy and Echo, Clarke being treated as a villain and not being appreciated by Spacekru), it is still such a strong season from start to finish. The main enemy (the prisoners) were interesting enough, but truthfully, the primary focus of the season for me was Octavia/Blodreina. One of the coolest storylines in the whole series. The finale is also one of the strongest episodes of the show. Also truly LOVED the Clarke and Madi dynamic. This season was highly anticipated and certainly delivered in most areas, even if the writing was a bit subpar. See more Josh W @RT85185052 01/02/2025 The harsh turn in sides of the characters in this season is truly enjoyable. Then mix in the entirely new concept that they reveal. It truly is amazing. My top comfort show. See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 02/04/2024 I'm almost done with this series, I didn't want time to pass so quickly. See more Carrie T @Car61 11/03/2023 This season took a dark turn but overall was pretty good. See more DYLANZS W @RT72238365 05/01/2023 Season 5 of the 100 still holds well in my heart but some of the content just wasn't as good as season 2 or 3 See more Al M @Almatt 04/04/2023 Mildly interesting, although after so many years humans are just shit. They learn nothing, not a post apocalyptic world I would want to be part of. See more Read all reviews
