The 100 (2014)
90210 meets Lost or some other Sci-Fi show
I am in my 40's so this show does not appear to be marketed to my generation, unless of course I desperately miss 90210! The storyline seemed to have potential - but the execution of the set, wardrobe and flawless make-up on these young, stranded, actors didn't help me to take anything "seriously" at all.
There were several things about the first show that just did not seem to jive. Sending all these young people back to earth without an adult? Even if they ARE expected to die? The loosely written power struggle of the adults in the sky? ehhhhh...
Too many leaps and not enough back story to really make me want to make this a part of my regular viewing routine.
I may watch one more episode - but so far - I can't see me routing for any of these Twilight-y age characters!
Believe (2014)
Has potential - average start
At first glance I felt like I was watching a young Olivia Dunham's story-ish from the show Fringe... (sorry JJ Abrams) but Bo's character is quite similar to Olive's story so far. Given that I am such a huge fan of Fringe, I cannot wait to see if more develops with THIS show than just a "running from either side that wants to use the little girl for her powers or protect her from the government" etc.
Have viewed episodes 1 and 2...am not completely enamored with any character thus far - would like to see more explanation in the "Gift" department. If there is more focus on these abilities and these abilities in "others" to also do this - then this show may make it in my eyes! Am optimistic and will continue to watch at least a couple more episodes to see how the storyline develops! - Angel
