I felt that for REIGN but not for 100 :) Probably because I watched all the seasons so far and followed the progress of the characters. It is a very unique series, I'm only annoyed by some of the characters and some of the actors.
yes, that is when it became violent, sadly, I generally get irritated by their idiotic take on genocide and collateral damage, but those are typical Americans, I guess...
GIVE SOME LOVE TO YOUR DEZZY :) DON'T FORGET THAT BLOGGER'S NEW COMMENT BOX OFTEN REQUIRES FOR YOU TO DISABLE PROTECTION ON YOUR BROWSER IN ORDER TO COMMENT.
I remember that BBC series of "Gormenghast" with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. It wasn't my fave. Maybe the remake will be better?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it nor heard about it before today, was it very strange and weird?
DeleteGORMENGHAST could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised The 100 is still going. Doesn't look like the story has changed over the many seasons though.
It actually has, the fact that they bring a new setting into each new season is what kept them on air for so long.
Deletei stopped watching after the 2nd season
Deletethat is when the Mad Max action started
DeleteThe 100 is already on season 5? I feel like that one just started not too long ago!

DeleteAnything apocalyptic is good for me LOL. I watched the 100 before but I don't think I finished it..
ReplyDeleteit is still on
DeleteWe watched the first two seasons of The 100, and I really liked it, but then it took a twist for the worst. Haven't been able to go back.

DeleteLooks like a desolate place. I wonder where The 100 was filmed.
