For a couple of years now, the CW’s president, Mark Pedowitz, has spoken openly about the network’s search for “their Hunger Games.” After a few other attempts that didn’t get off the ground (including shooting the pilot The Selection twice), The 100 -- debuting Wednesday, after Arrow -- is here. And yes, it marks off many of the Hunger Games-related check list items, with its book-based dystopian future and teenage characters put in a dangerous scenario by the adults who hold power.
Fortunately, despite the rather calculated reason for its existence, The 100 is a solid series, quickly establishing a well-constructed universe with plenty at stake - namely, the human race. Set 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse wiped out all life on Earth, The 100 begins onboard the Ark, a large space station — once 12 separate stations from different countries, which were brought together — that holds the few thousand people left alive, descended from the lucky ones who were off planet when the nukes went off.
