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.

Besides being an outstanding series, it is a work of art. All the characters are extremely charismatic and enigmatic. It’s a series that makes you never want to stop watching. Not to mention the great sense of humor it has. Incredible — it’s a shame it didn’t have more seasons.

I named my kids after this show it was sooooo good! Not really. I did name my cars after Olivia, Walter, and Astrid though. True story! Man this was really the last of a breed with FOX being able to make solid sci-fi paranormal TV! Still holds-up today too!

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.

Fringe returns in fine form for its second season.

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.

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!

I absolutely love, love, love this show. I will watch it over and over bc it is one of those where you will always see something different each time you watch it. They are easy stories to follow.

One of the best sci-fi TV series (one of the best series actually) I have ever watched.
