I thought that overall the series was pretty good. I will admit that Johhny was annoying at time, That being said with out putting any spoilers in this review I think episodes 19 and 20 saved the series. Before that I rated it about a 7 but I liked the ending so I bumped it up to an 8, There was a mixture of story lines : one for the main couple and one for the secondary couple the third couple wasn't necessary except to tie up loose ends from History 4 (for fans of that series it was satisfying to know what happened with one of the couples). I thought that the 2 story-lines added depth to the series. I was glad HIStory 5 had a happy ending. Give it a try I hope you will like it, i sure did.
