The 100

 

The 100 series official posters.

Synopsis:

 Ninety-seven years after a devastating nuclear apocalypse wipes out almost all life on Earth, thousands of people now live in a space station orbiting Earth, which they call the Ark. Three generations have been born in space, but when life-support systems on the Ark begin to fail, one hundred juvenile detainees are sent to Earth in a last attempt to determine whether it is habitable, or at least save resources for the remaining residents of the Ark. They discover that some survived the apocalypse: the Grounders, who live in clans locked in a power struggle; the Reapers, another group of grounders who have been turned into cannibals by the Mountain Men; and the Mountain Men, who live in Mount Weather, descended from those who locked themselves away before the apocalypse. Under the leadership of Bellamy and Clarke, the juveniles attempt to survive the harsh surface conditions, battle hostile grounders and establish communication with the Ark. (Wikipedia)

Review:

The 100 is such a wild and chaotic series! If you want to see action, drama, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and science fiction all in one, then this is the show, folks. You'll feel all kinds of emotions while you watch this. Let me tell you—I was thrilled, annoyed, and angry at certain characters for their actions during this series. Who knew watching the fate of humanity fight against each other for survival while trying to coexist would be so entertaining.

I became obsessed with this show when season 2 started. I found that season to be the most riveting part of the storyline. So many shocking and unbelievable events happen to our main cast. After the events of season 2 is when the characters' personalities and development drastically change and grow.

I also gotta say in my review, there were times when some of the seasons felt tiresomely repetitive. As the story progresses, you'll notice the characters are constantly running into problems. Right when you think they resolved or made peace with it, another enemy would show up to test them. You'll also sadly lose some of your favorite characters along the way. But seasons 5-7 will reignite the excitement you originally had at the beginning of the series.

This blog post is quite lengthy, and I'm not sure how to end it. If you've seen the show, what are your thoughts? One last thing, Bellamy deserved better, and I wish Clexa didn't end so soon.

    I love this series! I think the first time I watched it in 2019. I love the first to third seasons the most. So far I have watched it until season 6 (I can't binge anymore due to a lot of assignments :(, but will do soon!) I recommend everybody to watch the 100! - Winnie

    This show is pretty much apart of me growing up like I started watching it when it first came out and I have been loyal to it ever since. Ive got the be honest though this most recent season wasn't my favorite and I felt slightly let down.

The Haunting of Bly Manor

  Summary:  "The story tells of a young au pair hired by a man to look after his niece and nephew at the family country house after they fall into his care. Arriving at the Bly estate, she begins to see apparitions that proceed to haunt the premises."( Wikipedia ) Review:  The Haunting of Bly Manor is a TV show that contains genres of romance, drama, supernatural, and horror. As a horror fan, this show was not really frightening to watch unless you're afraid of jumpscares. Overall, as you watch, you get sucked into the love affairs that happen in the Bly Manor. The twists in the show are unexpected as you uncover the secrets within the manor! I won't lie when I say I watched this show after I discovered a lesbian couple was in it. The relationship portrayed between Dani and Jamie was so wholesome, and I was so sad about their ending. Another couple I was rooting for was Hannah and Owen. Although they were never in a relationship with each other, the interactions be...

Two Sentence Horror Stories

Image
   Summary:  Two Sentence Horror Stories is an anthology horror television series. Each episode is 20 minutes long and has a different plot every time. It currently has two seasons available and is an ongoing series. Review:   Don't let this show's name fool you. The word "horror" is in its name, but every episode I've seen feels more creepy than scary. Two Sentence Horror Stories is a series that doesn't require you to commit to watching every single episode. There is no specific storyline or recurring characters. If you've seen another Netflix show called "Black Mirror," this series gives off the same vibes. I recommend watching this if you're in the mood to be spooked but not terrified. Since every episode is different, you'll see various scenarios of characters encountering possible killers, the paranormal, or non-human figures. Some episodes left me confused as the ending was open-ended and left entirely up to how the audience imagin...

Vincenzo

Hello hello!  If you're a fan of comedy, action, and unexpected turns of events then you'll love to watch Vincenzo. This South Korean drama series has a well-written storyline that was executed with an amazing cast. I was invested in the show by the end of the first episode and it was hard to resist clicking the "next episode" button each time. These episodes aren't short and I watched them in several parts but that didn't stop me from enjoying the series. One episode is about 1 hour 30 minutes long so it's like you're watching a movie every time. Anyway, on to the summary.   Vincenzo standing in front of the Geumga Plaza. Summary: Vincenzo Cassano is a former Italian lawyer and consigliere for the Cassano mafia family. After the death of his adoptive father and head of the Cassano family, Don Fabio, Vincenzo leaves Italy and returns to Seoul. He is set on retrieving the secretly stashed 1.5 tons of gold (over $46.5 million U.S. dollars) he helped hid...
