    The 100 - Season Two (early Jan E4)

    I watched the first season out of curiosity initially sceptical about whether this would amount to more than a Lord of the Flies meets Mad Max but it soon was clear this was pretty good and I ended up hooked. Season Two sees the Ark smashed, part of it back on Earth where the survivors face difficulties but are still not aware of the terrors that Earth has waiting for them. The first to come from the Ark, mostly teenagers condemned criminals, have fought of their first major engagement with the Grounders, Earth's savage post apocalyptic warriors. However a much more technological threat is beginning to make its presence known.

    Well worth a watch.

    Quiet a bit of sci fi coming in the next week, Extant, Ascension and the 100 is back for a second season - so far so good.

    Over the next few months (June), The Strain returns, The Last Ship, and a few others I didn't like, Helix, Believe, Dominion and Intelligence.


    Regards Neil

    Hoping for some gritty realism (and not getting any) - I switched it off after 15 mins.

    Sorry for raising expectations.

    Footsteps in the Fog (aka how to poison your wife but be seen) 1955 is coming on film4 at 13.20 today. quite a decent melodrama starring Stewart Grainger and Jean Simmons.
