We might be at the height of the festive season, but if you need a break from winter romances movies and Christmas songs then Netflix has got something a bit different for you to sink your teeth into.
With seven seasons each packed with at least a dozen episodes, this is a series that will keep you busy right into the New Year and will help you escape any dreaded family game nights that start off fun, but quickly descend into chaos.
Starring Eliza Taylor, who you might have seen on your screen recently thanks to her festive movie Christmas Inheritance, the drama-action series is set 97 years after a nuclear war completely destroyed civilization on Earth.

Luckily humans were able to escape by fleeing to space, but now 100 teenagers have been sent back to Earth with the task of repopulating the entire planet. No pressure, then.
The series, which also stars Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropoulos, Lindsey Morgan and Richard Harmon, among others, originally aired on The CW before it arrived on Netflix, meaning fans no longer have to put up with a lengthy wait between episodes and seasons.
It reached its conclusion in 2020, but new fans who are finding the series, titled The 100, can't get enough of it.
Writing on LADbible's Netflix Bangers Facebook group, one fan admitted they couldn't believe how bingeable the show was.
"I was so indecisive to watch... but finally I started it, I didn't know I could watch a TV show for 10h straight," they wrote.

Other viewers have described the show as being among the best of the best.
One wrote: "I finally just finished The 100. I think I’m super late to the show but all I can say is WOW… probably one of the best shows I have ever watched.
"Always kept me on my feet and literally had the best ending that gave me so much closure."
"Hands down. My most favourite TV series. Still miss Clarke, Bellamy, Marcus and the whole crew!" added another. "When you see it now. Might look little bit dated for some. But cannot forget the excitement it induced while watching it."
One viewer even admitted to having watched the series three times already, but added: "Might do another run."
The 100 has also earned itself an impressive score of 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes - so what are you waiting for? Hit that play button!
