I love this show, i can't explain why, but I just do. I love the characters, i love the story lines and I love the costumes. It's one of my guilty pleasures, I can't get enough it. I discovered the Tribe when the first series was being shown on Channel 5. The first episode I ever saw was the one where Zoot, leader of the nasty and destructive Locos, plunges to his death from the upper level of the shopping mall. Intrigued I continued watching as i was introduced to Bray, Zoot's estranged brother, Trudy the slightly deranged mother of Zoot's child and Amber, the brave yet bossy leader of the title Tribe, the Mallrats. Then there was geeky Jack, techy Dal, moody yet motherly Salene, dim but loyal Ryan, materialistic Zandra, the tribe's troublemaker Lex, and my favourite character, the manipulative and calculating Ebony. These characters and many more are all thrown together when a mysterious virus kills all the adults, and the kids are left to fend for themselves. The kids form tribes, which ultimately become like families, with the older children looking after the younger ones and everyone looking out for one another. There are wars between tribes as the kids fight for survival as food becomes scarce. The Mallrats are happy to hide away in the shopping mall which they have made their home, until a cruel reality walks through their front door. The virus is back and this time it is killing the kids. Forced out of their haven the tribe look for the answers to the virus, stumbling on a cure. But with the power of an antidote comes responsibility, and the Mallrats soon rule the city. But evil powers lurk to threaten their new beginning. Characters die and come back to life, there's underage sex, underage pregnancies, crazy cults who kill people, a techno tribe who kidnap people and put them in a virtual reality computer game. It's all there for you. Buy the DVDs and take a look. You won't be disappointed!
