Survival, Morality, and the Radio-Active Legacy of The 100 When The 100 first premiered on The CW in 2014, it was easy to dismiss it as another teen drama fueled by angst and attractive leads.

The introduction of the Commander, Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), marked a turning point for the series. Lexa represented the philosophy of "Head over Heart," a doctrine Clarke struggled against but eventually adopted. The relationship between Clarke and Lexa ("Clexa") became a cultural phenomenon. It was a rare example of a same-sex relationship driving the central plot of a genre show, and Lexa’s eventual death—while controversial and sparking a massive debate about the "Bury Your Gays" trope—highlighted the show's refusal to offer happy endings lightly.
For the first few episodes, The 100 played out as a standard survival drama. The "Sky People" had to navigate wildlife, hunt for food, and establish order.
