What an emotional ride The Other Side was!

Congratulations to Director Cusick, his writers Julie and Shawna Benson…. and all the cast and crew who made this episode of The 100 an awesome one!

One that left us crying both with tears of joy and sadness. Watching everyone dealing with the aftermath of the conclave and more importantly, the decisions made in spite of and in response to it, made for very emotional moments that contained suspenseful moments too!

In this post, we’ve collected press reviews/recaps about Ian’s first directorial episode and BTS photos from the set.

We hope you were able to watch it but if you haven’t seen it yet, The Other Side is available for online viewing now at The CW website: http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-100

 

Reviews and Recaps

The 100 Review: The Other Side (Season 4 Episode 11)

“Life and death both come with pros and cons…”

“The 100 season 4, episode 11 review: Earth Day”

“The episode also marked the directing debut of Henry Ian Cusick, who plays Kane. Not only was it a rousing success as far as directing debuts go, but I found it a particular stroke of brilliance to have this very character-heavy episode directed by someone going from acting to directing: Cusick is an actor’s director by virtue of being an actor himself, and was thus able to bring out the emotional truths of the incredibly intense, heart-wrenching scenes in Arkadia and on Science Island.”
