The 100, Living in Space
The 100, is an American - Post Apocalyptic drama TV Series on E4.
"The series is set 97 years after a terrible nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the war. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live under the leadership of a Chancellor named Jaha. Resources are scarce and all crimes, no matter their nature or severity, are punishable by ejection into space ("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark's life-support systems are found to be critically failing, 100 juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable" and sent to the surface—nearby former Washington, D.C. —in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again in a program called "The 100", for which the show is named. The teens arrive on a seemingly pristine planet they have only seen from space. They are meant to find refuge and supplies at the old military installation in Mount Weather. However, they have landed a fair distance from it and soon face other problems. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. However, they discover not all humanity was wiped out; some people on Earth, called Grounders, survived the war, and there are even more dangers lurking – Reapers (Grounders who have become cannibals) and Mountain Men (who live in Mount Weather, the original destination of the 100)." // This is taken from Wikipedia.

I remember watching a few episodes of this series and thought it was very intriguing and really very different to most other TV shows, to do with this topic / subject matter. I liked that this was a series that was started in "Space" and that they lived there, and then were coming down to Earth to see what life on Earth was like. I find that to be a really interesting concept and was executed well. I think that this would make in interesting piece on the Golden Record, as it would be a juxtaposition, i.e: We know what we think but what about the other beings, if there even is any in Space, about how they would react to Earth.
