User Reviews

at last!

at last this season is now getting interesting and has a lot to expect from. the season has been really dull for me so far, mainly due to the repetitive nature of the episodes, which are not what the series' fanatics expect, but gives the opportunity to new audience to get an idea of what's happening... anyway I am glad that the story is building up, and it creates numerous questions and many issues unanswered until the next episode...these are the characteristics I like about Fringe, and I hope to see more of it. Watching the first ten episodes made me feel that actual fans are not taken into consideration by the filmmakers, because the story remained "flat" for a long time in my opinion.
