Fringe seems to be going out as alt-world fantasy/sci-fi at its most tough-minded yet humanistic. [5 Oct 2012, p.73]

On the evidence of Friday's season opener, Fringe will continue to be the best show of its kind since "The X-Files" at the grace notes, intimate or humorous instances like Olivia's Crate & Barrel moment (which won't be further spoiled here). When you get the small things right, it's less crucial that your universes and time shifts exactly line up.

Started to rewatch it after 15 years again. The "magic" is still there. Story, cast, setting - its a "must see" for Mystery and science fiction fans. Anna Torv as Agent Dunham is one of my favorite TV Show characters. Since so many shows nowadays dissappoint - watch out for the yesterday gems! There are many!
Report
Fringe invokes some of the sillier forms of television devices-- teleportation, psychokinesis, transmogrification and even bionic prostheses--but still manages to seem smart and stylish.
Watching the cast play doubled characters promises to be one of the great pleasures of Fringe's coming season. Certainly Torv and Noble face the biggest challenges, she depicting two characters in flux, he portraying polar opposites. But the alt-world also offers alternatives for all the players.
By Michael Curtis Nelson FULL REVIEW
Fringe is just good enough to watch with or without the ads. But with Abrams, you expect more than "just good enough."
Abrams, the quintessential American dreamer and overindulger, the ultimate boyish idiot-savant imaginator, just can't control himself. He can't exercise a little self-restraint.

Wonderful television. As the series' progress, eventually the heroes save the world. Imaginative, brilliant cast, an original. One of the best.
