Game Of Thrones: 5 Epic Shows To Binge-Watch Over Hiatus

If you terribly miss Arya’s dangerous travels through the Riverlands, were intrigued by Sansa learning to navigate the political sphere after being thrust into an impossible situation, or were enthralled by Daenerys overthrowing the authorities of Meereen and declaring herself queen, the threefer of The 100 might be the one for you.

The CW’s The 100 follows the story of a ragtag bunch of youthful criminals whose ancestors survived a nuclear apocalypse by retreating to the safety of a space station. With resources on the Ark running short 100 years later, the juvenile offenders are sent down to the radiation-soaked planet in the hopes of finding it survivable.

The first of the two seasons thus far sees heroine Clarke Griffin struggle for influence over the delinquents, alternately helped and hindered by charismatic antihero Bellamy Blake. When they discover that that Earth isn’t quite as deserted as they’d thought, Clarke, Bellamy, and the kids struggle to coexist with the Grounders without everybody dying in the process.

Despite airing on a network with a reputation for teenybopper melodrama, The 100 is no kids’ show. The requisite love triangle quickly becomes a background issue, and even that is resolved rather conclusively in the second season when The 100 proves that no character is ever truly safe.

Also, nobody makes a thing out of Clarke being bisexual. It’s pretty great.
