Fringe
Fringe is one of the rare television shows to remain faithful to its strengths while growing increasingly popular over five seasons. It has dared to explore its own mythology with episodes set in alternate timelines, inside character dreams, or even on an idyllic white tulip flower; additionally it has shown no fear when venturing into blood-and-guts scenes involving liquefied brains or disintegrating heads!
This show can often be described as The Twilight Zone crossed with The X-Files. It centers around Peter Bishop, an eccentric con artist with an unparalleled IQ, and FBI agent Olivia Dunham – two characters who use fringe science and old-fashioned detective work to investigate unexplained phenomena like shapeshifters, telekinetic kissing and spontaneous combustion. Though there may be issues with credibility at times, its engaging story never loses its charm – especially after this week’s spectacular finale which left us reeling – read up on reviews for more.
