I just looked and yes, both of them are in it. The adverts look great. Has it gotten good ratings and reviews in the US does anybody know?
the show's ratings haven't been great but it was renewed another season because CW had cr*ppier shows to axe first
its 18-49 demo ratings started out at 0.9 but was down to 0.5 by the ep 13 finale - this is actually the same rate of decline as The Tomorrow People's ratings (which fell further thereafter because it had a 22 ep season)
so if the ratings don't pick up in s2 that may well be its last season
Looks good but I might just wait and see if it's renewed after season 2, if it does, I'll catch up. Getting a bit fed up getting into a new show only for it to go and get cancelled leaving me disappointed.
I hadn't quite decided if I was going to watch this - another series to take on but if its only 13 episodes I think I'll give it a go. I read somewhere that its a slow starter but really takes off after a couple of episodes.
Yes, I'm in two minds about this myself. I'm not really a fan of the post-apocalyptic genre as I tend to find it too depressing. I did like Defiance, though, so I'll give this a go.
"High school drama that wants to be a sci-fi show" says one of the reviews. Doesn't sound promising, but I'll give it a go. If it can't sustain the interest of its target audience (viz. my teenage son), I'll know it's in trouble (like Marvel AOS and The Tomorrow People).

Viewing figures plummeting from 12.12m to end at 5.45m, just above the season's low? Being labelled "Fall's Biggest Disappointment" by US critics?
I read that its ratings were too low relative to its production costs and that it needed to be downsized if renewed. That's why I think they've rewritten the story to allow the (cheaper) rebuilding of Shield.

AOS improved massively in the latter half; it engaged me and my oldest (12y) in a big way. It'll be a shame if it gets cancelled part way through the next season.
No spoilers for The 100 here, but having just watched the first episode my only complaint is Henry Ian Cusicks accent. Enjoyable.

I thought AOS turned around post-CA2, but its ratings still continued to slide. It shows that you've got to hold on to the younger viewers. Once you lose them, it's hard to get them back as they have so many other things to watch online.
The first three episodes not great but after that it improves a lot. A decent sized cast meant that a lot of different plots developed during the series and that really worked well. Recommended.
I've got this on series link but I've also got the option of the whole of Season 1 on Netflix Canada as well. I might watch the 1st episode later on to give it a go. The premise sounds interesting, but if it's essentially a "teen" show then I might not take to it. At least it's only 13 episodes though.

Isn't there another from neighbours in it? Think he played aiden the nurse.
Isn't Calvin Valentine from Hollyoaks also in this?
I'm definetely going to give this a watch.
Yea he is in it for a few EP's. Its been commissioned for a second series so must be quite good.

yup
so bit of a cheat really that it got renewed based on a much shorter season than TTP
That's even better, so at least it won't be one of those long and drawn out seasons with tons of filler episodes. 13 suits me just fine.
AOS isn't in trouble, is it?
