This is the first sci-fi TV show worth watching since The X-Files went off the air.

An amazing sci-fi show that is so much better than 90% of the crap on tv today.

I LOVE this show.

Hard to believe it is possible, but the second season of Fringe was even better than the first. I loved "Northwest Passage" and "Brown Betty." The show is fun, playful, and serious all at the same time -- It is the only show worth watching on television.

This was my favorite season of Fringe and the season finale was one the best finales ever. Totally on the edge of my seat. It is NOTHING like the X-files, besides the fact that both are about companies exploring the unexplainable. Again, it's NOT an X-files copy. Anna Torv improves her acting in this season and the best acting still comes from John Noble (Dr Walter Bishop). This show is well done and I can't wait to watch every single episode.… Expand

An amazing sci-fi show that is so much better than the rest of the series.Definitively worth watching.The only thing better than the first season of Fringe is it's second season

Fringe is simply amazing and John Noble is as well. It's the best sci-fi show in T.V!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic concept, great writing, good acting, gripping story, the only thing that's needed is to perfect the concept that's already been laid down. It's a great idea, but it's still young and fresh. Over time it will build and Fringe will become something truly amazing. (Also, Metacritic, please block people from re-voting under different aliases. Block multiple submissions from the same IP. Thank you).… Expand

Not quite The X-Files in it's hayday, but becoming almost as fun.

This review contains spoilers. The end of the second season was absolutely brilliant. The show simply just keeps getting better and the introduction of the alt-universe was fascinating. Torv and Jackson are great, but John Noble continues to steal the show as Walter. Some of the best work on television today.… Collapse

The second season of Fringe is really when it became something more than average. "Peter" is the first "oh my god" episode the show delivered, and the wait was completely worth it. The finale also deserves some recognition. Anna Torv and John Noble both portray great, likable characters that are some of the best on TV.

It could be a challenge to keep up with incredible season 1, but J.J. Abrams and co did succeed. Main plot is in center of almost all episodes in season 2, which adds to the intensity. It's a must own for sci fi fans

Fringe shows no signs of slowing down or getting stale. Yet. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

I love the premise, but there is just something about Dunham's character or the actress that irks me. If they go back to more of the first season type plots it will improve. This whole alternate universe thing is stretching it even for the Fringe division. I will be back though, its a good show.

A solid and entertaining start, Fringe has found it's footing and comes out as a satisfying paranormal, sci-fi drama. Fringe may very well be a worthy successor to the X-Files should it continue so strongly.

One of the things that made season 1 of Fringe special was the limited commercial breaks. This allowed more story per episode, and it was quite refreshing having only 90 seconds of commercials between acts. Now that Fringe has our attention, though, its back to the standard 30% commercials per hour of programming...shame.

Got tired of this show 3/4 of the way last season. Boring, the main character is weak, etc. It has some interesting elements...but that's about it.

The increasingly strained "science" canon and obvious continuity errors aren't the problem. The problem is that the characters just never get beyond being caricatures. All of them can be quickly and easily summed up into a short sentence; certainly not interesting enough to want to watch for more than a season. None of them, not even the heroes, are especially likable. Weirdly enough the alternate versions of most of the characters are more interesting and engaging, unfortunately the show needs to artificially remind us every so often that the other side is evil, so we shouldn't really attempt to empathize with someone from the "other" side. In any event, as a big JJ. Abrams fan, I was hoping for a lot more and I really wanted to like this show. I ended up just barely finishing season 2 and abandoning it after 2 episodes of Season 3.… Expand
