 Great T.V. watching... Mar 10, 2010
Keeps you interested, and all ways has a different story, but gives you much information on the underlying storyline!
 Great New Show Mar 09, 2010
The first season fringe is great. It is really entertaining and a terrific new show. We can't wait until they release the second season on DVD and we will be sure to order from Amazon because of their excellent service. I got the first season while it was on sale and it was shipped to me within two days. Thanks Amazon!

Great characters, great story. Mar 05, 2010
I'm not a big fan of TV, so I first saw this series on disc (and now have the DVD and Blu-Ray versions of this). The Blu-Ray version definitely looks better, and it's worth picking up if you have the hardware to play it; it's less discs to manage, and the picture quality is terrific. The menus are a little awkward compared to the standard DVD release's menus, but definitely not bad once you get used to them.
Fringe unexpectedly became my favorite show I've ever seen, for a number of reasons. The story is intelligent and well-handled modern sci-fi, and unlike almost anything else on TV the show actually has a purpose. It's not just showing you things to fill a time slot; even spanning into the second season Fringe continues to create an ongoing story out of each show. They're going somewhere with it, and like a good book it's fun and entertaining to find out where it ends up.
More than anything else, the show is character driven. The story revolves around Walter Bishop, a not-so sane scientist, in a role that's played so well that I can't imagine anyone NOT liking him. Emotional, often hilariously funny, and sometimes a little disturbing and even scary... he's one of, or should be considered to be, the most iconic supporting characters on TV. His son, Peter, has a harsh relationship with Walter and the first season of the show builds upon the always interesting friction resulting from the forced end of their estrangement brought on by the main character, Olivia Dunham, during the beginning of the show. Olivia is the serious edge that drives the show forward, the almost-archetypal courageous white knight that's universally been played by a male character everywhere else. She's perfect here; stoic and determined, full of raw emotion that nobody else gets to see outwardly if she can help it, and it's acted and written well enough that she never becomes that stereotypical tough girl who has to act like she's a man fitting into a man's world. It's nice to finally have a strong female lead character who can be tough and still be feminine, something exceptionally rare in films or television.
I love it, five stars. Pick up the Blu-Ray if you're torn between formats, but the DVD version is great enough to recommend as an alternative.
