[While not better, it is not unheard of to say it is doing some things better.](http://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-the-100-is-beating-game-of-thrones.html/?a=viewall)

It feels like the show runners pulled a bait and switch on the CW with the pilot. They probably pitched this as a standard teen angst love drama then went “fuck it” and switched to dark post apocalypse sci-fi.

Ok, I will try it. I didn’t want to watch it because, frankly, I can’t think of anything worse than a bunch of dumb teens tasked to save the world. But you all say it gets better, so I will at least watch Season 1.

If you get past the first 3-4 episodes you should be golden.
