Think 'Fringe', think 'X-Files', think interesting and entertaining, 13 May 2009
9/10
Author: John Smith from New York

This show was exactly what i expected it would be, and it's obviously what i hoped it would be. After i saw this pilot i think this show could have many similarities in episodes that are yet to come with famous, incredible and "one and only" (atleast in quality, originality and presentation) 'X-Files'. Although acting crew of 'Fringe' and acting in particular is league or two below those of 'X-Files', pilot just offered viewers (specialy those who love these kind of series, and i do also) a lot more to hope for from 'Fringe' in near future, and that's exactly the point of pilot of every show, just interest the viewers in the show and give them something entertaining and gripping, and 'Fringe' in my opinion definitely delivered that. I thought lead actress could have been better, more authentic, charismatic and attractive also, but this one will probably do just fine for this show (atleast i hope so). And as far as other casting crew is concerned, lunatic doctor and his witty son, those roles are given to proper people i think, although Joshua Jackson could improve his acting and make a bit more convincing performance in episodes that are yet to come.

9/10 - for the pilot that promises an exciting new 'X-Files' called 'Fringe'
