If you want to experience a truly entertaining series and have time to really get addicted to it, then Fringe is the perfect choice. It has everything: humor, suspense, action, drama, and tons of head-scratching mystery. YOU will love it and become a hopeless addict. It even has a secret code built in to its bumper graphics... a series of symbols that you can decipher if you can figure it out.

Spoilers I can't say the plot is without holes but for a complex story with time travel and multiverse interaction, they do a damn good job. I love Olivia, Walter, and Peter, all great characters. I love that everytime you want to place blame or call a single person it group a bad guy, they explain the perspective and you realize everyone is dealing with a complex set of choices... usually do to another character. What it means is, no one person is rough it wrong and it usually takes working together to make things better.

WOW! .. this is an amazing TV series, indeed. I watched all 5 seasons (100 episodes) in just about 4 weeks! I loved every aspect of the show especially Dr. Walter Bishop which was my favorite character. John Noble did an incredible and outstanding job playing this complicated and interesting character. John Noble proved to be a real marvelous actor and I truly consider him the leading star of this amazing show! I only expected a little more in the last episode .. I don't know what exactly, but I feel something was missing and the end could have been a little bit more dramatic! Nonetheless, this is by far the best TV series I watched so far, alongside "The X Files", of course. I only wish for more seasons to come!
