Fringe TV Show Reviews
“Lately everything that Lost supremo J.J. Abrams touches turns into
gold: Cloverfield, Star Trek, Mission Impossible III…Well, maybe not Mission
Impossible III but Fringe, his latest TV series (the second season premieres in
the States on September 17, 2009), is no exception. The show, co-created by Alex
Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the team behind the popular Star Trek reboot – is
pure 24 carat gold…Fringe may take a few episodes to get going, but once you
do get into the swing of things you'll find that Fringe is one of the more
addictive science fiction television shows out there..Highly
recommended.” scifimoviepage.com (season 1)
“One of the great character dramas of contemporary television.”
New York Daily News
“What started out back in 2008 as what looked to be another sci-fi
drama in the vein of The X-Files has turned into so much more. Fringe, now
getting ready to head into its fourth season, has evolved beyond a simple
paranormal sci-fi drama with male and female FBI agents into a complex,
intriguing world all its own, very distant from the X-Files clone it looked to
be…An absolutely superb season that moves beyond its influences and carves out
a space of its own in the annals of sci-fi television, Fringe: The Complete
Third Season is brilliant sci-fi” Blu-raydefinition.com (season 3)
“..The series has been compared to another Fox Science Fiction
standard; ‘The X-Files’ and I suppose that some comparison is natural and
valid but just a cursory consideration of both series will reveal that such a
comparison is cursory at best. They both deal with paranormal events that are
investigated by FBI agents but other than that they are completely different in
construction, tone and underlying story. "Fringe’ represents a novel approach
to a tried, successful genre. This is the type of series that demands lengthy
discussions with your friends the morning after a new episode has aired. Each
episode is so carefully constructed that it requires multiple viewings to catch
all of the subtly placed clues to unraveling the mystery and uncover the
perfectly planted nuances of the story lines…This is an incredible series that
thankfully has been renewed..Move over ‘X-Files’ this is the new series for
the serious Sci-Fi fan.” hometheaterinfo.com (season 1)
“The best show you'll find on network television is here with
it's third season, a mind-bending excursion into hugely rewarding mythology.
Watch it please…” DVD Verdict (season 3)
“It's classy, inventive sci-fi with shades of Doctor Who, Looper, The
Matrix and The X Files.” Guardian UK (season 5)
'“..this series set a new standard for intelligently written and
imaginatively produced story telling even witnessed on television. ‘Fringe
‘was frequently bizarre, often enigmatic and always entertaining it took up
the mantle of multi complicated, multiple season story arcs to an entirely
different level. The creative mind behind the series, J.J. Abrams has been a
force to be reckoned with on TV for years with his cult classics; ‘Alias’
and ‘Felicity’ making him a household name. With the series, ‘Lost’ he
took imagery, convoluted plot devices and interaction with the fans to a place
never imagined before. The mistakes in pacing that were made in ‘Lost’ as it
began to unravel and loss momentum were for the most part avoided in
‘Fringe’ resulting in a series that constantly defined itself…Many shows
just phone in the last season but not ‘Fringe’. This last season exhibited a
dedication to the integrity of the story and a respect for the diehard fan. the
final character arcs fleshed out what had been previously established and gave
the audience a resolution that worked, it is understandably sad to see it end
but this is a series that you can revisit many times and each time pick up new
nuances.” hometheaterinfo.com (season 5)
