Help needed - Pimp posts!

[tassosss]

My question of the week is: why did you start watching The 100?

For me it was persistent Netflix advertising combined with a few positive reviews on my flist/dwircle that pushed me over the edge.

I'm interested in putting together a list of pimp posts as an easy place to point people who may be looking for non-spoilery reasons to watch the show from fandom. They don't have to be flashy or anything, but if you wrote one or read one that made you want to watch the show, link me in comments.

So far I have the one I wrote:

I can definitely tell you that I had no idea going in that it would be a show about child soldiers, or that it would be so affecting and relevant to me. I hardly ever am able to be entertained by shows about teenagers. The 100 is a notable exception.

Me either. I'm not sure what my expectations were but the show far exceeded them. I was definitely wary of a show about teenagers because I was burned a little by Teen Wolf, and also my patience has gotten thinner for traditional teen drama as I get older. One thing I love about this show is that it commits to its characters decisions and follows through on the consequences.
