It's been nearly 100 years since Earth was devastated by a nuclear apocalypse, with the only survivors being the inhabitants of 12 international space stations that were in orbit at the time. Three generations later, the survivors number 4,000 -- and resources are running out on their dying "Ark" (the 12 stations now linked together and repurposed to keep the survivors alive). Capital punishment and population control are the order of the day, as the leaders of the Ark take ruthless steps to ensure their future -- including secretly exiling a group of 100 juvenile prisoners to the Earth's surface to test whether it's habitable. No one has set foot on the planet in nearly a century -- until now. Among the exiles are Clarke, the teenage daughter of the Ark's chief medical officer; Wells, son of the Ark's Chancellor; the resourceful Finn; and brother/sister duo Bellamy and Octavia, whose illegal sibling status has them flaunting the rules. Technologically blind to what's happening on the planet below them, the Ark's leaders -- Clarke's widowed mother, Abby; the Chancellor, Jaha; and Jaha's shadowy second in command, Kane -- are faced with difficult decisions about life, death and the continued existence of the human race. For the 100 on Earth, however, the alien planet they've never known is a mysterious realm that can be magical one moment and lethal the next. With the survival of the human race entirely in their hands, the 100 must find a way to forge a new path on a wildly changed Earth that's primitive, intense and teeming with the unknown.

Back to it's best
We binge watched the amazon prime 100 seasons but missed the E4 run of season 5 so bit the bullet and bought the DVD. This season is back to the classic 100 format and will not disappoint fans. Don't want to add spoilers but it almost felt like the season wrapped up the story and you could finish watching the story here so if you feel like you have almost had enough, I would recommend watching this season for a nice round ending.The storyline was as ridiculous as ever with fast-paced action suitable for the whole family (teenage boys and adults). Makes for a perfect family box-set.

Action packed
The show continues to grow and grow. The mysterious ship that showed up at the end of season 5 is unveiled.In the bunker a dark change has come for the survivors. And the battle for the last remaining valley on earth begins. The ending of the season brings a new hope for a new future. But also a reminder of how one character wanted a better future for the survivors. What that future will be seaon 6 will reveal. This is an excellent show. That grows with every season. Highly recommended for sci fi action fans.

Another good action season, but it needed something different
Season 5 is another good one, but we've got into the territory of having seen it all before. I don't think 5 was the worst season as some reviewers have mentioned, it just it relies too much on the action which feels too reactionary. Without giving spoilers the leaders seem to have forgotten they've just survived a second holocaust and it's back to business as usual. But don't get me wrong - there are some great stories and I enjoyed every minute, I was just expecting a new twist. This season has the best ending I've seen so far, but not as a cliffhanger, more as an emotionally powerful scene. The whole series could have ended there and the show would have felt complete. It made me look forward to season 6 and wonder where they can take it next.

Absolutely brilliant! Best 100 season!
Easily the best 100 season ever! I thought that the series started to decline in season 3 & 4, e.g. the ridiculous "City of Light" stuff, but this 5th installment is an absolutely superb comeback! It starts off kind of slow, though, the first two episodes aren't that good, but after that it is basically uninterrupted full throttle! The plot (and sub-plots) are extremely cleverly thought out.
