I understand that really, a lot of S1 was pretty ropey... being a sucker for anything post-apoc (and there not being many post-apoc shows) kept me interested enough to come back. In S2 it went from being a show that I'd frequently "forget to watch" some weeks and then have to catch up on, to one of the ones I'd really look forward to watching in my weekly download batch (I tend to save up the various shows I watch and binge them all on one day). S3 had some dodgier storylines (light spoiler: there's some AI and Virtual Reality stuff. Some of it works, some of it is slightly lame). And yet I still found myself looking forward to it all the same, so I guess there has to be a reason for that.

It changed a fair bit going into season 2, I think the writers completely changed direction because it wasn't working all that well. Seemed like S1 was going for a lord of the flies type thing with it just being the kids on the ground... then they realised that the adult characters were mostly more interesting, so they just brought the Ark to the ground as well . The title of the show doesn't actually have anything to do with the content any more ... it's not about "The 100"... haha.
