    Hey, "The 100" tv show went seven seasons with 100 episodes.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_100_(TV_series)

    I am not sure if the book series was written before or after the tv
    show. Looks like the first book in the series preceded the tv show.
    You can watch all seven seasons of the tv show on Netflix.

    The books definitely came before because the show credits included an
    "inspired by" credit for them. But as with most adaptations the show
    had little to do with the books beyond the title. From a report by one
    of the regulars in r.a.tv the entire book series covers the first 24
    hours after landing on Earth. Dat's it. And apparently was almost all
    teen angst soap opera. :D

    I think I saw some of that. The first season maybe? It was your
    standard "shot in and around Vancouver" SF series. The teen angle
    allowed the casting of a lot of twenty-somethings at the start of
    their career, when they are cheap. The lead was imported from
    Australia. IIRC, in the first episode her Australian accent broke
    through a few times, afterwards she passed for North American, at
    least to my ear.

    Anyway, it was on US network TV, so it was very generic.

    I am not sure if the book series was written before or after the tv
    show.

    The TV show was definitely marketed as based on a book.

    Ray replaced at least two of the E-S servers (there are three or four
    E-S servers) at a new location about two weeks ago. The new DNS took a
    long time to update for some of the ISPs, over a week for AT&T. One guy
    was continuously complaining at news://news.eternal-september.org/eternal-september.support and
    eventually found that he had hardwired the E-S reader and database IPv4 addresses into his localhosts file. Once he removed those, his problems
    went away.
