If I started watching this show today, as an adult, I would most likely consider it total trash. The acting is incredibly hard to bear at times (there are a few exceptions of course, but most of the actors could have used some serious acting classes); costumes, hair and make-up are insane (for lack of a better word); the music borders on annoying and the plot holes are big enough to swallow a fully grown person. Thankfully, there aren't any of those left in the world of The Tribe.Eight-year-old me however could not have cared any less about all this. The show is a part of my childhood that still gives me this weirdly fuzzy, nostalgic feeling to this day. I remember re-enacting the show on the schoolyard with my friends and always being excited to come home after school to watch the latest episode. So, try as I might, I cannot bring myself to rate this any lower than 8/10. Doing so would be a betrayal of all these great memories I associate with The Tribe. This is eight-year-old me taking a stand.

i love this show! i always have and always will! please give us a 6th season!!!!!!!!!. I was instantly hooked from the very first episode i saw!.what a shame channel five aren't going to commission a great show like the tribe again, what amazes me most is that they've commissioned the spin off 'the new tomorrow' which lets face it was truly awful!and not worthy of being linked in any way to the tribe!. I for one would like to see the tribe come back with a 6th series, they'd have plenty of story lines to follow, for one we aren't sure if bray is still alive! If you loyal tribe fans are still out there please please please get emailing channel five and tribe world.com and demand another season of the tribe! Always a loyal fan Lauren xxx

I bought the first series based on the rave reviews I had read. I was looking for another quality kids sci-fi show like Spellbinder or The Girl From Tomorrow. I was sadly mistaken with The Tribe as it is pure soapy with a slight sci-fi twist. The writing is mediocre, the acting is often appalling and the music sucks big time. After watching a dozen episodes I began to wish the virus had taken the kids out as well. I find it hard to believe that this series has managed to survive five seasons whilst quality productions such as Firefly only managed 14 episodes.My advice is if it comes on your TV, change channels.

I was flipping through channels one day, when i came across The Tribe. I was going to change the channel because my first impression was "this is stupid" but the strange characters, hairstyles, and clothes kept me watching and drew me in. I got hooked right away and have been watching ever since! It is just so captivating with the things the kids go through, some real life situations, some unreal! Here in America we finished the 4th season and i hope they start playing the 5th really soon!
