While I found season one a little slow in the beginning, it was with good reason. Like any great work of art, it needed a foundation. Once the slow got rolling, it was truly amazingly entertaining. Season one ends with a cliffhanger. Season two keeps you glued to the set, and specifically the many emotional twists the characters are facing as they learn things from their past. Season 3 looks to expand on the story even further in a very unusual way. (I don't want to spoil anything here) I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. You will absolutely fall in love with the cast.

This has to be the stupidist show I've ever seen. Season 1 had a lot of bad acting with story lines ripped off from comics and bad t.v sci-fi , season 2 was worse. I mean really, the future of the earth depends on the non-existant acting skills of joshua Jackson and a pathetic fat old hippie- please! If you're the kind of individual who thinks garbage like star trek(If the future of mankind is a exercise in bad clothes, big guns and american fascism then thank god none of us will live to see it)and the x-files is good viewing then I'm sure you'll enjoy this- anyone with taste should avoid at all costs. And to all you losers who wrote to berate me for getting Jacksons name wrong- get a life! The show is still crap.
The X-Files + Direction + Creative Writing = Fringe July 24, 2010

Admittedly, I was a sporadic viewer of Fringe when it first aired on Fox. The first half of Season 1, as others here have mentioned, was intriguing but frankly nothing to write home about. But, halfway through that first season, something happened that just made the show "click".
Since then, Fringe has been a whirlwind of story and action. Many have compared it to JJ Abrams other pet project, Lost. Well, the reality is that Abrams had little to do with Lost beyond the pilot episode and I suspect that Fringe is more a Kurtzman/Orzi creation than an Abrams one as well, but either way, they struck gold. How is Fringe different from Lost? In many ways, but the most obvious is that its mythology is not quite as ambiguous or mysterious. Sure, there are questions raised by the series, but they strike a solid balance between questions and answers.
The title of this review essentially sums up the long and short of Fringe, although admittedly The X-Files is almost tame in comparison. Fringe deals with a reasonable amount of subject matter covered by The X-Files, but definitely goes beyond. Where I find that Fringe exceeds its obvious inspiration is in its direction - there is a clear story being told here, whereas Chris Carter, mastermind behind the X-Files, admitted that they made their mythology up as they went along.
I suppose I should comment on Season 2, this being a review for that season and all. Well, frankly, it gets even more compelling than the first. John Noble's "Walter Bishop" has solidified himself as one of the most tragic, and perhaps my favorite, character on television. The "mad scientist" character has never been portrayed in such a unique and relatable manner. You will find all the familiar "Mulder/Scully" sexual tension between Anna Torv's "Olivia Dunham" and Joshua Jackson's "Peter Bishop". But I think any fan of The X-Files will find a much deeper and more rewarding experience in the show, particularly the second season, which I find stronger than the first.
I recommend this show for any fan of "Lost", "The X-Files", or honestly any solid dramatic or sci-fi show. Honestly, its my favorite thing on television at the moment.
Consistently Improving! July 12, 2010

It's not X-Files. It's not LOST. For better or worse, FRINGE is its own animal. While the first season was a little inconsistent in quality, it overcame its slow start to be one of the finer gems of its rookie TV class.
Season two is much more consistent, but follows the same formula of mixing standalone episodes with episodes focusing on the ongoing FRINGE mythology. The multi-episode story arcs make it worth watching; the standalone episodes, however, continue to be little more than average (I'm not a fan of procedurals like CSI, so I might be biased).
Still, the good far outweighs the blah, and the season finale features several of the biggest WTF moments in recent television history. Can't wait for season three!
