    Money seems to cure everything, even dead shows. But even money can't cure how bad this situation is, and how uncomfortable it is to pretend all of this makes sense. I hope they won't make a sixth season.

    Events is takiing place really fast and quick..it lacks the awaited breathtaking suspense .Beside the atmosphere the seies shows is too much apocalyptic and chaotic ,really a lot doesn't make sense and away from reality. However ,the comeback is still worthwhile and compelling

    I was waiting for this season because I really hated the ending of 4th season.
    First and Second seasons are the best third was ok, 4th was BAD.
    5th...it's OK, the "prison breaking" part is very tiny and only 9 episodes? Episode 5,6,7 can be stitched together and there are so many plotholes! I liked it more than 4th season but this one needed either better prison breaking story or more

    Desert scenes were unnecessary long

    It's utter nonsense. Mind-numbingly stupid. Worse yet, it's a bore.

    In its new miniseries incarnation, it wants to be a dumb show, full of clichés, that has something to say, and you’d be surprised how easily that tilts over into outright offensiveness.

    A clunker that's slow to build and never believable as it takes shape.
