My honest opinion is that they should've made this season a bit longer so it would be more enjoyable, it just feels so rushed at times,I don't mean 20+ episodes, that would have been way too stretched. I think 13 to 15 episodes is enough.

The writing in season 5 is still good(with a bit of flaws but every show has it so its alright), directing and acting is also good as usual.

but after nearly a decade of the show being "over" you would expect those 9 episodes to be perfected to the last second. I'm gonna binge watch it soon to see if I missed something

I would love to see more of their back stories, from each character, more scenes about prison tension, getting to know the characters, more talking about their past, more mysteries and stuff like that. when Whip got shot I mean it wasn't believable or anything, it was weird and silly, I was like .. ...what the hell ... .. .. [20 seconds later] should I feel sorry for him?? or T-Bag for losing his son after only knowing him for 2 days, or what??? should I be "oh man why he died... such a shame..." I gotta admit it was kinda laughable, that whole situation..., T-bag coming out unarmed like "oh no, stop, don't shoot", .he was a decent guy but had no time to get interested in him. although Sid's death was tragic, he was a young dude on the run, about to flee the country, live free and then he got killed

that is I guess the only main issue I have with this final season, it feels so rushed but we still have like one or two filler episodes when they were on the run from prison, episode 5 had nice ending, the prison break style i loved it but that entire episode could've been put into 10 minutes or less loll(if you re-watch it you will see)

if this season were 15 episodes long it would'be been more than great, I love that most of the cast got back together to shoot this final season and I appreciate them giving us more Prison Break material.

I really enjoyed this season, especially considering that I binged watch the whole season in 1 day. I mean, that was a blast. Made so may good memories "resurrect", as the name of the series suggest.

Although I never found the acting to be perfect, I always loved T- Bag. The level of tension he brought to the original show was such breath taking that no so many villains managed to provide, not original, but an excellent psychopath. Yet they decided to make him a different person in the sequel. But this person was not T-bag by story, just a shadow of him. This was a good person, seeking justice and solace, and forgiveness, which are so unlike him. I can't believe they didn't give him a more demanding job. And the ending for him was justified weakly. Of course he killed an agent, but she was corrupted (as it was proved) and it was sort of self defense. They made the whole scene with him killing the agent just to make an excuse to put him back in prison for the culminating scene at the end.

In addition, I can't believe they did not bring back Alex Mahone. I mean, he was the super smart brain in season 2, they could have give him at least something more than Sucre.

On the other hand, when this season finished, I realized that not a lot of things are different from what they were back in 4x24. Everyone's free, T-Bag is still in prison, the law is good with everyone. The only difference is that this time, Micheal is alive and well, with his family. This makes you wonder, why couldn't they do this back then? Obviously they killed him before to make things more dramatic and heroic. Like he is a hero that should not be abounded by normal life. So why they decided to do it this time? We are definitely not going to watch him and his family live a normal life and happily ever after. Why bother all this?

After the last episode's cliffhanger I was waiting for a good finale that would finally tie up all the important loose ends and that is what I got.

Honestly, I would say this episode is not as good as the previous and definitely is not one of the best episodes of Prison Break, but what it is... is the finale that Prison Break should have had a long time ago. Take for example Breaking Bad a series in which the character that turns evil dies at the end. Fitting right? For a guy who committed so many crimes to finally pay after getting a somewhat redemption. Well as fitting as it is for that show, that's how much unfitting(couldn't find any other word) was for this show to kill the character at the end. Many questions were raised like: How Michael's tumor came back? Why he would willingly kill himself because his tumor came back?(I mean he could have lived for years) yet his mum who had a similar condition lived after surgery... well this episode is what that ending should have been. I'm not saying it's the perfect finale but it does have some awesome Prison Break moments like: "Truth is whatever you tell people it is" or a moment at a warehouse in which I for one couldn't keep up with the mind games and who was doing what was supposed to anymore. And above all we have some of the best Michael moments put in Prison Break that reminded me of why I liked this show so much. There are twists and revelations and moments that will surprise you just as long as you don't expect this to be the "Greatest Finale Ever" but just the finale that we deserved 7 years ago.

In conclusion I'll say this once more: This episode is a fitting end to this show and one that tied up very nicely all the loose ends that were raised during this season and during the final episode of season 4. Seeing this rated with 8,7(at this moment) on IMDb is a little disrespectful and I guess it's only because we were expecting some of it and the episode wasn't as artistic as the previous one. But in the end all good things and bad things must come to the end!

I've been waiting ages to read the reviews on here but stayed away for any potential spoilers. I've got to say, I'm genuinely shocked to see so much negativity around this season. Personally, I thought it was great. Loved every second. Was it too over the top sometimes? "F..." yeah! Would I have it any other way? Hell no!

And to that grade-a idiot who mentioned that there was 5 seconds of reused material in the last episode from the very first episode, just take a step back and think. Seriously, just THINK. I've never h are such a ridiculous statement in my life!

A somewhat indifferent finale that's awfully similar to the ending of Season 4. The new "freedom" the team archeived felt unearned and underwhelming. The season overall starts to struggle when Michael and co leave Yemen. Most of the dramatic tension is gone and we are left with some half-baked family drama. The first four episodes are good as they have much in common with S1 and S3 in terms of tone and plot but as the season progresses, it starts to move to the conspiracy territory and becomes similar to s4. Poseidon is an okay villain, who talks much and do less. The central conflict which involves him trying to take over Michael's family is a bit corny and automatically renders the story predictable. Although, I did like how he and Michael trying to outsmart one another. There's one scene in the finale in which Michael frames him in the same manner he did to him, it was really good. And although T-bag didn't have much to do, I liked the subplot involving Whip being his son.

On the whole, I liked the first half of the season more than the second half. The overall story lacks novelty, it just feels like the reset of S4 with this ending the same way as it but with Michael alive. Some side characters were also wasted. But overall, I had a good time, and while it isn't a top-notch season, it's still a good addition to the show.

One of my favorite shows of all time...but the ending fell a little flat for me. I mean...he fought to get back to his wife and kid and one of the last scenes with Little Mike, other than the end, is him calling Jacob dad. Then at the very end we don't even get to see Michael interact with his son or even him calling him dad. Just Michael sitting at a distance from both Sarah and their son. Even Linc went and joined his new lady. Left me wanting more for one of my favorite characters of all time. Would have been nice to see him get everything he fought for actually happen in the episode instead of leaving it to imagination. Not even a glance back or smile from either. WTH.
