The 100 is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. 7 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 8,694 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Eliza Taylor's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason The 100 keeps coming up in conversation. The 100 treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. 100 years in the future, when the Earth has been abandoned due to radioactivity, the last surviving humans live on an ark orbiting the planet — but the ark won't last forever. So the repressive regime picks 100 expendable juvenile delinquents to send down to Earth to see if the planet is still habitable. Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It ran for 7 seasons (2014–2020), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What separates The 100 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, The 100 fits the bill. If you have already watched The Walking Dead, The 100 is a natural next step. The 7-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. Eliza Taylor grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.

The 100 wrapped up in 2020, created by Jason Rothenberg — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
