What I'm Watching: "The 100"

Finally all caught up on The CW's The 100 and am officially obsessed with this show — it's such a remarkably deft exploration of morality and group dynamics, adroitly examining how sacrifice, faith, fate, and authority are tested by the need to survive in the dystopian setting of a future Earth blighted by nuclear radiation. Hard choices are made and hard battles fought and lost. Deep philosophical questions are posed: What does it mean to be human? To be civilized? To lead? To follow? What is the cost of surviving?

If you're not watching, you're missing out on a truly addictive drama that makes you think and laugh and weep and pick your jaw off the floor on a regular basis. (Plus, Lexa. I haven't even mentioned Lexa!) Bring on Season 3!
