The 100 has not had received the same level of attention as other CW shows, but that is not because of the quality.
Throughout all three seasons, the show has continued to evolve, even managing to keep most of the core cast together throughout the tragic events they’ve encountered.
The idea of losing core members in an apocalyptic setting may sound like the right move to make, but The 100 has so far used the deaths of others to further split up the core group of teens.
