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.
