Anybody else watching/watched this? Just finished the third episode and it's quite good. The acting is pretty terrible at times but it's a similar-ish plot to some books I've read in the past (strangely not the ones it's based on though) so it's keeping me amused for the most part. Also it's got Marie Avgeropoulos in it - what's not to like?

Great review. It's quite good except it is pretty terrible but it is also like this other thing.
I made it through 3ish episodes. Got bored. I watch some terrible TV shows, this didn't survive.
You're still angry aren't you?
funny fact...
lead girl in this is Janae from neighbours (all those years ago)

I watched 3 or 4 episodes of it, and got bored. I wanted to like it but it was altogether a bit too crap. Also, I remember thinking that everything that was going to happen was obvious, and there was some big reveal at some point (I can't remember exactly but someone betraying someone else but it not being who you're led to believe it is in the first place, all this with the subtetly of Grinner hitting on Alock's mom) which was rather shit.
Worst name for a show ever.
Flava Flav!
It's still the worst.
Saw half an hour of this at the weekend. Its fooking terrible.
Unless you've seen everything else ever made, just don't bother.

Even then, you're better off re-watching something else. Or watching paint dry, really.
I think you all take your TV a bit too seriously.
nah I watch some terrible tv but this was pretty boring its another in a long list of random theCW group of teenagers + love triangle + X event DRAMA! tv shows, the other year it was witches, this year it there have been Teenagers+lovetriangle+Aliens and +Mutants and this shit. The other two got shitcanned for terrible ratings already, from what I hear this one has been doing okay though, no idea why, I guess if you throw enough shit at the wall some of it'll stick.
I think you take your TV too lightly. This is serious business.
Have standards, man.
Careful now, I liked Tomorrow People. More than this anyway.
Some of it was definitely terrible. Especially the part with the young girl, I stopped watching for a while after that because it was just nonsense.
I thought the series ender was okayish, I guess I do wonder what happened to a couple of the characters. If there is another episode I'll probably watch it to see what happened. After that, we'll see

I liked it, got very interesting towards the end. I can see it being like Arrow, another CW show and go from strength to strength.
Given the shows that weren't renewed, I'm surprised this got a 2nd season. But it did.
Just finished the series, thought it was good personally. Not totally sure why it's getting the hate that it is.
Can't wait for season 2, plenty of questions left unanswered.

Didn't really like this much as I wanted to. Too many stupid things happen for me to really connect with it. Most of the characters are also annoying as shit. The ending was interesting enough though so who knows, might dip back into it with the second series.
Well I thought most of the arc stuff was boring and the part where the little girl
That would be why I don't think it was any better than for example Star Crossed which was cancelled, while this got a 2nd season.
kills the main characters friend and then jumps off a cliff was painfully stupid. Most of the rest of the show was decent rather than good with the odd predictable part like Murphey getting revenge.

Anybody been watching the second season of this? They've been plugging it quite heavily in the UK compared to the first season. I'm currently 4 episodes in.
Janae from Neighbours and Marie Avergeropololopologopolopos are as good looking as ever.

It was so much better
As in, it's now worse in Season 2?
I think it's lost a lot of its originality, now it's just some kind of Walking Dead/Lost crossover, but it's more gripping than the first season.
I want to know what kind of convenient turn of events will allow Jaha to meet up with the others despite being anywhere else on the planet right now
Sorry, i was talking past tense. Finished the the half season ages ago. I really enjoyed it.
Am all caught up.
I want to say that this show is really good, I really do. It's got some great, unique ideas in it and is pretty intense and gripping. Comparing it to TWD, it is miles better. It's better paced, it's worst moments are better and its best moments are far better. But I can't shake off this feeling of being pissed off at the convenience of it all.
Jaha lands in a desert. A friggin' DESERT. He could've landed anywhere else in the world, anywhere. Lithuania. South Africa. North Korea. Except he lands in a desert which is somehow near a jungle which miraculously holds his people. He was falling to Earth is a feckin' missile, and landed within 50sq miles of his people. I can't even think of a convenient coincidence better than that.
Then you have the distances involved. They're apparently walking miles each day. Literally miles - 30/40+ easily. They're often doing this with injuries. How, are they some kind of superhumans? Do they deserve a spot in the next Avengers? And then there's the injuries themselves. Skinny kid gets a spear in the chest - all good! Rock smashed to the head? No damage! Come on, TWD may stretch the truth but if you get fecked there, you're fecked.
But hey, I could criticise it all day. The fact is, its entertaining and when you look past the whole landing a missile right next to your people thing, it's tense. Janae from Neighbours and Marie Avengersolololpohippopotamusogloloe are nice eye candy and now who knows WTF is going to kick off next.

I know it's not exactly award winning material, but I love this show. None of the highly convenient plot occurences bother me because let's face it, we're talking the CW here. Frenetic plot, some pretty good casting, bunch of attractive women and a cool setting? Good enough for me.
Yeah I keep recommending it to my friends to watch but always say 'despite it being terrible'.
I have no idea why I'm hooked but I am and I want to see how it develops.
Marie Avgeregeregerepopopopopolous is wonderful too.

Marie Av-whatever is great... Lindsay Morgan (Raven on the show) is a stunner as well.
Just watched the recent episode
Fecking King Kong 
Interesting to see where they take Lincoln now. Presumably he'll die somehow as they won't go through all the drama of saving his life again now he's relapsed on the red drug. Also, Lexa looked much fitter than usual. Making the push to break into the top 2 of Janae and Marie Aveger...opolops

I'm all up to date and it's definitely gotten better through Season 2,
I'm going to try and hold off so I can watch them consecutively...we'll see how long that lasts though.
On the latest episode:
What a cnut! I didn't see that coming, I hope that bitch gets what's coming to her, if anything because it's now ruined the chance of seeing another snog between her and Janae
Really looking forward to the season finale now, although I fear that cow won't be getting her rightful comeuppance for a good while yet.

All caught up, end of S2:
Curious ending. Plenty of questions for S3!
- I guess that was a nuclear bomb/warhead at the end, and that she was the woman the bloke on video in the lighthouse was referring to? Who would she want to blow up? I wonder if that is linking back to the grounders in some way.
- Janae is turning into a right little serial killer now isn't she? Her next story arc will be a bit different, I find it hard to believe that she'll do too much on her own. Where will she end up?
- Still hope that Lexa cow gets what's coming to her.
- Cage is obviously not dead yet. He'll be back, possibly to be revealed as a Grounder ally next season? Could see a big reveal of a further hook up between him and Lexa (cow)
Really enjoyed that season, good TV

Yep, the conical object was a nuclear warhead. Agreed, re: the hologram
I reckon Lexa is going to get proper fecked in some way
Season 3 has been confirmed, late summer or fall release apparently. Can't wait, show just seems to have been getting better & better.
