Pilot

The main problem I have with this is the cliché characters: The slutty annoying attention whore (Octavia), the douchey guys that only care about getting laid (Jasper and Monty), the girl with troubled past (Clarke), whose sole purpose in this pilot episode is constant exposition, and the rebellious ones that have seemingly no redeeming qualities as characters yet and just like to be dicks for fun (John and his gang) for the most part. Whose idea was it to send a bunch of children down to earth? Why not adult prisoners?

There were so many damn lens flares in this it got quite distracting. I had to check that this wasn't made by JJ Abrams because it looked like it was. Additionally, the obvious mainstream pop music that played every other scene got pretty annoying.

The show in the end is entertaining enough to keep watch, as long as I don't take it too seriously.
