I am really digging "The 100": "Set 97 years after a nuclear war has destroyed civilization, when a spaceship housing humanity's lone survivors sends 100 juvenile delinquents back to Earth in hopes of possibly re-populating the planet."

We're in the midst of Season 3 right now, and I'm watching "The Walking Dead" between new episodes. I only got through the first two seasons originally, but my son has become a fan of the Zombie, so we've got back to the pilot and are watching it together. We just finished Season 2 and are both hooked.

FWIW - my son's favourite post-apocalyptic movie is "Zombieland". It doesn't offer a wealth of real world survival advice, but it sure is good fun.

Edited to remove credit for the 100 from Netflix. You can watch it on Netflix though, new episodes seem to be released every Friday.
