SinceMarch 1 , season 6 of The 100 is finally available on Netflix. As expected, the series was welcomed with open arms by its audience. It has been in the top 10 most watched content on the streaming platform for more than three weeks. Butdoes it give me this success?
Spoilers alert!
Season 5 of The 100 had left us on a huge cliffhanger. In other words: the fans were in an unbearable suspense at the end of the season. After telling us that the Earth has become uninhabitable, we learn thanks to Monty of the existence of a new planet with a binary, potentially habitable solar system. His name: Alpha. Season 6 is none other than the discovery of this planet which, despite festive colored decorations, hides many surprises from them… Jason Rothenberg, creator of the series, amazes us once again with his overflowing imagination. Complications on this new planet follow one another and the bad news keeps piling up. The pace of the series is sustained. The tension is palpable. No time to get bored! Only one desire: binge watcher. Once on Alpha, the Earthlings will meet the inhabitants of Sanctum whose Primes are considered Gods by their people. Their sworn enemies? Gabriel's children. It is as the series progresses that the adventure gets tougher. On Eligius III in particular, this famous shuttle that allowed them to travel there. But also on this new planet. This season manages to plunge us completely into the universe of Sanctum, thanks to the remarkable costumes and makeup used for these Gods. However, repeating the same scenario pattern can cause mild disappointment among fans. 
Course of the season
The plot is still very similar to that of previous seasons… With a still very Manichean vision of his characters. The arrival of the Earthlings in an unknown environment, encounters with new individuals that we discover evil or even Machiavellian, obstacles forcing the heroes to try to survive… We can also note a lack of evolution in some characters. Raven for example, played by Lindsey Morgan, finally finds love again in the first episode. And yet we will not see her enjoy this feeling for very long… The writers were indeed forced to take the life of his friend Shaw. Showrunner Jason Rothenberg explained in an interview that actor Jordan Bolger landed a role in another series. He could no longer ensure his role in The 100. So the most effective solution was to kill him. But Shaw's sacrifice has not really been developed over the episodes and Raven is reduced to a secondary character, who suffers without even attempting any revenge. Murphy also evolves very little. He is still the most devious and selfish character in the series. He thinks first of him and Emori before thinking of his loved ones. Murphy is in love and doesn't change, at least until his outpouring of kindness in the season finale, where he revolts and risks his skin to rescue his friends following Abby's murder. 
Same for Jordan, the son of Harper and Monty Green. The latter appears very little at the beginning of the season. Then not at all except a few minutes at the end of the last episode. The last episode of season 5 suggested that he would be recurring in this sixth season. But what nenni! However, we notice a real effort from a narrative point of view. The story is notably marked by the duplicity of several protagonists.
The actors are doubling
Josephine, daughter of Russell the First (blessed be her name, as her people would say), is resurrected in Clarke Griffin's body because she is a Natblida. She has nightblood (her blood is black). This resurrection allows actress Eliza Taylor to play two roles with completely different characters. With this performance, we can only applaud in front of her acting. Its regularity allows an effective alternation between these two characters. And she is not the only actress who sees her role duplicated. 
Madi, Clarke's adopted daughter played by Lola Flanery, is possessed by Sheidheda, the dark commander. Again, we observe an incredible ability on the part of the young actress to move from one character to another. Characters who, it can be said, are diametrically opposed. One brave and ready to do anything to defend her people. The other thinking only of revenge and dominating the world. During the scenes taking place in Madi's brain, the play of light makes this demon even more frightening. This feeling is accentuated by the grandeur of the objects and the ceiling height of this huge room representing the interior of the flame. This idea of excess could have been pushed even more during the season, to amplify Sheidheda's hold on Madi. Finally, let's not forget Paige Turco, who plays Abby in the series. As often in this series, Jason Rothenberg confronts us with tragic deaths, including that of Clarke's mother in episode 12. Russell uses his body, which became nightblood during the episode, to bring his wife Simone back to life. Here again, we distinguish the remarkable performance of the actress in her sudden change of character. His relationship with the other characters also becomes very interesting. Raven is no longer his friend but becomes a simple Earthling. Russell becomes her husband and Clarke, her daughter, will even be led to kill her by sending her into space to defend her people.

Secondary characters highlighted
As mentioned above, Madi and Abby are recurring characters and highlighted by their ambivalence. But they are not the only ones. Octavia Blake, aka Marie Avgeropoulos, passes during the episodes of the Blood Reina (Queen of Blood) to the model citizen who will overwork herself to save her people. His duet with Diyoza (aka Ivana Miličević), although unlikely, is rather successful and well conducted. Octavia also becomes Bellamy's sister again, with moments of complicity that we had missed. Bellamy and Echo remain the star couple of this sixth season. They have few scenes shot one-on-one. Yet actors Bob Morley and Tasya Teles manage to transmit this link that unites them all along. The latter also manages to stand out despite its rare screen time. Her flashback to her story when she was young allows us to get even more attached to her character.
What we know about season 7
Obviously, as in the previous seasons of The 100, the end of the sixth leaves us hungry with again a cliffhanger and not least. The famous question that all the spectators asked themselves following the activation of the stone of the anomaly: where did Octavia fly? But with the appearance of Hope, Diyoza's daughter, one also wonders if her mother is still alive. Similarly, the opening on the obtuseness of the Primes by Jordan Green makes us think that there will be a continuation of the reign of these Gods for season 7. All these questions create a suspense that is supposed to keep us in suspense while waiting for the next season. And we can say that it is successful. Fortunately for his fanclub, there will be a final season that should be broadcast in the United States on the CW channel on May 20. Yes, despite the pandemic we are facing today, the filming was able to take place and the end clap took place on March 15. We don't know about you, but we can't wait to discover the end of this adventure. We're curious to know what you thought of this penultimate season of The 100. We will see you soon on our Facebook and Instagram pages to get your opinion!
