I was rewatching Fringe and I really loved watching it again. Very much so.
Despite some sins, such as the emotional fragility in the interpretation of Joshua Jackson and Anna Torv, in scenes where emotion was mandatory, especially on Torv's part. His mannerisms, even his gait, were also quite uncomfortable. This later improved a little, but in the 5th season the coldness and apparent disinterest appeared in full force. Still, overall, the level of the plot, very well stitched, the safe direction, with few holes, and, mainly, the prodigious interpretation of John Noble, simply magnificent, Lance Reddick and Blair Brown, kept the series always balanced and a high level of interest.
Another point of great interest for me, I don't deny it, was the father-son relationship with Noble and Jackson, especially thanks to the emotional charge offered by Noble's talent. This moved me at times, reminding me a lot of my own relationship with my son.
In the end, I thought the show was very good. Lots of interesting, if superficial, scientific information and reminiscent of The X-Files, but without the incredible charisma and chemistry of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
Too bad it only lasted 5 seasons. Good SciFi series are rare. This one really won me over.
