Season 1

As with any series, The 100 had its ups and downs with its first season. It’s to be expected that a show will need to find its footing when first starting out, and to The 100′s credit, it managed to do so fairly quickly. What started as a typical YA dystopian romp quickly evolved into a series tackling much deeper subjects. And as the plot progressed, fans came to love even the most controversial characters.

What’s so great about The 100‘s first season is how easy it is to return years later and fall right back into the delinquents’ initial journey on the ground. From the back and forth between Bellamy and Clarke, to the war between the Grounders and the delinquents, to the drama of the Ark dying in space, there’s so much to love about the show’s early episodes. And despite only being in this world for a short amount of time, it’s easy for fans to become invested in each and every one of these storylines.

Of course, there are aspects of season one that feel a little cliché, especially after watching the show evolve. Clarke’s relationship with Finn — and their uncomfortable love triangle with Raven — could easily have been dropped, for example. There are also some moments left open, which happens when a show is just starting out. (Those giant worms returned later, sure, but did they ever serve a purpose? And what ever happened to the two-headed deer?)
