10 Best Post-Apocalyptic TV Shows Of All Time

10. The 100

The 100 first premiered in March 2014, and the series ran for an impressive seven seasons, ending in mid-July 2020 after a total of 93 episodes. The series is set 97 years after a devastating nuclear holocaust kills nearly all life on Earth, leaving very few survivors in orbit aboard a space station called the Ark.

After three generations lived and died on the Ark, the station has reached capacity, so 100 juvenile detainees are selected to head down to the planet to see if the world has become hospitable to human life once more.

When they arrive, they quickly discover that humanity survived the apocalypse, and there are three distinct groups of people alive on the planet. The Grounders are the somewhat disparate clans of people who survived the apocalypse, the Reapers are Grounders who became cannibalistic, and the Mountain Men were descendents from the people who locked themselves away before the end of the world.

The series was widely beloved by critics, which is evident from its Rotten Tomato scores. Four of the seven seasons hold a 100%, while the remaining three have similarly high ratings, which gives the series a total aggregate score of 92%.
