Advantages: Something for the teens Disadvantages: Sometimes a but unrealistic
Imagine a world with no adults. Adults in todays world keep law and order, bring us up, teach us, etc etc but what would happen if everyone over the age of 18 died.
Well that is what the tribe on channel 5 is all about. The adults all died in a virus leaving everyone 18 and under to defend for themselves in a new world
The tribe has now finished it's 4th series and series 5 is coming soon pointing out that The Tribe is a very popular series around the globe.
In Series 1, it was set very soon after the adults had all died. Gangs had formed (TRIBES) and had taken over the city, each ruling their own sector. People are used as slaves, there is a lack of food and it's just war all the time. War to take control over the city and be leader reflecting on what would possibly happen if all the adults did die out. There are no schools any ...
making your own clothes, dying your hair odd colours and adopting some more unorthodox makeup techniques but then if you're even reading this review, you'll probably be grinning and twirling your pink dreadlocks with fond remembrance to those afternoons spent watching The Tribe on Channel 5 wondering how best to break it to your parents that you've dyed half your hair blue in dedication to Zandra.
If you haven't seen this show, this DVD, episodes 1-4 is the perfect starter kit. In a nutshell, a virus has wiped out all the adults and Amber, our hero of Series 1 and her group of lost kids seek refuge in a deserted mall, becoming The Mallrats. They go through every challenge from finding drinking water and food, defending themselves from rival tribes and managing their own tribal traumas to teenage pregnancies in just these few episodes.

The Tribe is the post-apocalyptic TV series set in a world where the adults have all died from a virus and the children are left to fend for themselves.
In this DVD box set we have the entire first series, right from the start. You get to see all the beginnings of the Tribe, how the MallRats (the main good guys) all came together and see how all the adventures started.
It is this series which originally main the Tribe the success if was, allowing for the 5 series to be made. Some of the best story lines happen here. The ones which are more centred on characters and survival: Salene's bulimia, Trudy's teenage pregnancy, how to get medical treatment without adults and new medical supplies and scavenging for food.
It also introduces us to an amazing take on a world with no adults. Many of us have always wondered what might happen ...
Queensryche: Geoff Tate, Chris DeGarmo, Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield. On TRIBE, Queensryche's first proper album since 1999's Q2K, the band combines all of the disparate sonic elements it had explored over the course of a half-dozen groundbreaking records into a consistently satisfying whole. All of the trademarks the group's longtime fans have come to expect are here: the stop-start prog-rock rhythms and high-pitched '80s-metal vocalizing ("Desert Dance," "Open"), the heady, polysyllabic Neil Peart-like lyrics ("The Great Divide"), and the crushingly heavy super-chops (the title track). This time around, however, Queensryche seems surprisingly content to stay largely within the confines of pop song structures, sometimes even employing melodies so catchy and rhythms so bouncy that they wouldn't be out of place on a Journey record. Make no mistake, though; TRIBE is no pop sell-out, but rather eminently listenable evidence of a gracefully aging group further refining its constantly evolving and steadfastly uncompromising sound.
