    You'll either love or hate it. hide « show »

    A brilliant TV series, one that you'll always remember and miss. Funny lines, wacky characters and outrageous clothing....as colorful as it can be, not to mention the brilliant face paintings and hair due "just been hacked by a combine harvester".
    Zulu knots, braids....and feathers.

    So, there was that virus, and it killed all the adults - and kids are trying to survive - the basics of season one. Fighting, jealousy, friendship and the eternal question how to get pure drinking water and food.

    Season two is more settled at the beginning, but there's enough drama -death of two tribe membbers, two more get kidnapped, and a weird cult emerges.

    Season three is about freedom, finding old friends and trying to get justice. My presonal favourite...after that, the show went downhill quite a bit.

    Season four - bring on technology, cyber space and virtual reality - it got way too technological and unrealistic for me.

    Season five - still the technology, but this season was more human, and the last ten episodes were good again.

    I first started watching The Tribe at the very start when it appeared on Channel 5. I would advise people of any age to watch this program as it's absolutely brilliant. hide « show »

    The Tribe is a totally unique program consisting of 5 seasons (and I really hope another sometime soon). It's basically about children and teenagers trying to survive and make the world a better and safer place to live in after the adult race is wiped out by a virus. Thats just the basics though. There is a lot more to it than that.

    The Tribe was mainly aimed at an audience of old children and teenagers and covers many of the situations that they might experience in their lives such as drugs and alcohol, teenage pregnancy, and the basic means of growing up and being an individual as well as much more.

    That may have made it sound very boring and off-putting but believe me, its not. That is all disguised behind a brilliant story-line and many great actors and actresses carrying out the genius plots.

    I remember finding this on 5 one Saturday morning and becoming hooked. It was amazing. hide « show »

    I must admit that I still miss The Tribe, it was such a wonderful idea, so very original, it did get silly after a few series but I still loved it. With the drama and the relationships that changed from episode to episode. It was marvellous I would say that when it first aired in April of 1999 I was only 8 at the time, but that show has stayed with me and is probably still one of my favourites. It was addictive and strange and I really wanted to be a Mall Rat (the main tribe). I mean what would happen if all the adults were suddenly killed by a deadly virus? This show was so very imaginative. Granted now I'm not sure if I'd survive being 18 myself and that was the cut off age. The tribe was a journey that sadly was never finished, there was so much that I hoped for with series 6. But as an avid fan I must say that the years that it took us through, the trials and tribulations of each of the characters will stay with me for a long time. The number of people who were killed off is staggering considering this is a kid's show. My favourite characters were Amber and Bray, and of course I especially liked them together, and with the prospect of him being alive in series 6 I was more than excited. The characters were not one dimensional as you may find on some children's TV programmes, they all had something you could relate to, which made the horrible things that each of them went through all the more hard hitting. Almost all- if not all of the characters had a back story that was filled with turmoil. When we get to the final episode I think only 5 of the original characters (from the first episode) are still alive or with them at least; Amber, Lex, Trudy, Salene and Jack. This show was and still is amazing. I would love for someone to carry it on, -sigh- I really really miss it. Honestly it was brilliant, anyway, I loved almost all of the characters, it was stunning. There are no words to describe how wonderful it was...if you hadn't guessed already I loved this show almost too much for words.

    This was the best show ever! nuff said. the spin-off was crap though- "the new tomorrow" hide « show »

    This was the best show ever! must admit i did judge it at first, but i was so glad my cousin's got me into it. i started loving it more than them. It was completly BRILLIANT. sorta wished i was part of the tribe! i loved everybody in the show. even the baddies were ace, and it still had a comic twist about it. And i just absolutely loved when the goodies and the baddies fell in love with each other. i wished they would bring it back on tv. Because i still haven't seen it from the first season. please bring it back! signed desperatly in love with this show.
