‘Battlestar Galactica’ Meets ‘Hunger Games’ in 100-Episode Action Thriller That’s Free on Streaming
The 100, The CW’s 100-episode post-apocalyptic action series that ran from 2014, is now available to stream for free on Pluto TV. The show explores similar thematic territory to Battlestar Galactica and The Hunger Games, creating high-stakes drama through survival pressure and impossible moral choices.
Set 97 years after a nuclear catastrophe, the series traps its protagonists—desperate young people and compromised leaders—within unforgiving systems where survival requires brutal decision-making. The show excels at generating conflict when personal loyalties clash against practical necessity, creating a volatile pressure cooker of drama.
With all 100 episodes now freely accessible on Pluto TV, the complete series is available for viewers discovering the show for the first time or rewatching the post-apocalyptic thriller. The availability marks a significant distribution milestone for a show that has maintained a dedicated fanbase since its network run concluded.
