Hmm, sounds like it might not be something for us to continue watching with the kids. Seasons 1 & 2 already challenged the boundaries as it was.
I'm not good at judging that sort of thing, but I would suggest not.
Does that mean there's sexual violence in it? If so, we're definitely out!

The complaints I heard weren't about that.
People were just saying it was boring and playing into cliche by using the old "kill off the homosexual characters" trope.
Spoiler tag test:
I was thinking more along the lines of
Ninkynonkynoo
I was thinking more along the lines of
there being a literally crucifixion, a woman halfway hanged and similar stuff. Been a while since I watched it and I'd suggest getting a parent's perspective, but I'm not sure it's for kids.

@thaddeus6th it's definitely not a show for kids. But then it doesn't advertise itself as such.
4.01 Echoes
A series that starts a new season at the exact story moment the old season ended?
A series that puts more than eight months between seasons?
That "previously on" intro that started the season 4 opener Feb. 1 was, for once, not something that prompted me to press "fast forward." The episode did a nice job of tying up most of the loose ends from season 3 and clearing the way for the big challenge of the new season:

Earth's nuclear reactors are breaking down and about to radiate the entire planet. Sky Crew, again accepted as the 13th clan, has 6 months to find a solution, or everyone dies. No pressure.
What the hell was that at the ending -- a radiation storm so intense it could instantly turn that unfortunate woman into ashes? Six months might be a little optimistic.

Hmm. Is it back on UK TV yet?

Not on TV, but I'm streaming it from a website.
Loved the season opener.

Oh, well. Cheers for the answer.

Canadian Netflix is playing the episodes as they come available. I binge watched the first three seasons, so this week long wait between episodes is killing me.
What was up with the Aragorn over the cliff, rescued by his horse, bit??

I just watched the first episode of season 4 last night. Octavia scares (and fascinates) me, and Bellamy is even better eye-candy this season than last.

I'm watching it on Hulu streaming in the U.S., Thaddeus.

Whoops. I meant that I'm watching it on the CW app (not Hulu) in the U.S. (Too many streaming platforms/apps to keep track of!)

I just finished watching the second episode of season 4, and I enjoyed the commentary on leadership and information. I'm not happy with Clarke's decision, but I understand the reasoning.
When Jasper said to Clarke, "Spoken like the council that sent a hundred kids to die on the ground," I said "Yeah!" When Jaha said to her, "We make the best decisions we can with the information we have," I thought, "That's a reason to share info, not keep it secret from your people." But nope, not Clarke.
And Monty! The choice he made!

Ah, fair enough. I don't mind waiting, but thought I might've missed the start.
Just got caught up through 4.05 "Tinder Box," due to a mysterious deletion of the episodes I had been storing on the DVR. Still haven't seen 4.02 "Heavy Lies the Crown," but I can sort of fill in the blanks from what I've seen in the recaps and episodes since.
I had feeling that Ilian would succeed in his mission to destroy the lifeboat. The act took the secretive and seriously divisive "backup plan" out of the equation.
If the Skaikru members were upset that only 100 of them were on Clarke's list, learning that the number had been cut in half to make room for 50 Ice Nation members would have caused a riot.
With no immediate reason to go to war, all can now pin their hopes on the Nightblood solution to their survival. That's assuming enough fuel remains after the Arkadia explosions to get the rocket they've found at Alle's old digs off the ground.
Octavia's apparent death did make me wonder. Although the absence of a dead body after she went off the cliff made me suspicious, The 100 has been known to kill off major characters. I thought that falling to Echo's blade might be an expected ending for someone who has become a killing machine.
Never underestimate Octavia's ability to remain alive -- mortal stab wound? Ha! Fall off a cliff? Double ha! Knock my battered and bleeding body down with an explosion? Triple ha!
