When nuclear Armageddon destroys civilization on Earth, the only survivors are those on the 12 international space stations in orbit at the time. Three generations later, the 4,000 survivors living on a space ark of linked stations see their resources dwindle and face draconian measures established to ensure humanity's future. Desperately looking for a solution, the ark's leaders send 100 juvenile prisoners back to the planet to test its habitability. Having always lived in space, the exiles find the planet fascinating and terrifying, but with the fate of the human race in their hands, they must forge a path into the unknown.

"Damocles - Part Two" is one of the best episodes of the season, and the final 10 minutes shift the narrative in really exciting ways.

When showrunner Jason Rothenberg said that the fifth season finale of The 100 could have made a "satisfying series finale," he wasn't kidding.

The 100 has always loved to try and shock its audience and what could be more shocking at this point then our abused and cynical characters to reach to hope?

Rated: 7/10

The 100 is best when it is driven not by the plot, but by the characters we love so dearly.

Rated: 4.5/5

The harsh turn in sides of the characters in this season is truly enjoyable. Then mix in the entirely new concept that they reveal. It truly is amazing. My top comfort show.

This season makes me want to grab some popcorn and rewatch the entire thing. This season will never be forgotten. It's appealing to me because the ending is truly satisfying.

Season 5 of the 100 still holds well in my heart but some of the content just wasn't as good as season 2 or 3

Mildly interesting, although after so many years humans are just shit. They learn nothing, not a post apocalyptic world I would want to be part of.
