u/Disastrous_Camp_2734

First time watcher of Prison Break here. I just started the 1st ep of S5 and it turns out that Michael apparently somehow faked his death and is in a desert prison now. From the middle of S2 I have felt like they just started reusing the same plot points and amped up the plot armour of all the characters. The fake out deaths of Sara and Kellerman were exhausting to watch, but the death of Michael being fake too is just too much for me. Is completing S5 essential for the full Prison Break experience? Or is pretending that Sara and the rest of them lived happily at the beach ever after also fine?
