"Fringe Review":
Fringe is a television series that premiered on FOX. It has been airing Tuesday nights. It partially resembles CBS's Eleventh Hour.
It is presented with limited commercials and it is about secret experiements and science fiction, now made possible by Fringe Science.
Olivia Dunham is an agent for FBI. She finds a renegade named Peter Bishop and tricks him to come back with her. His father, Dr. Walter Bishop is released from being institutionalized to help solve a case. He was put there because one of his experiments caused a lab accident caused the death of a young girl. During the first few episodes, there are problems with a highly advanced corporation called Massive Dynamics, there are problems between Olivia and her superviser Phillip, and Walter is struggling after years of isolation and torture in the institution. There is also a lot of graphic violence in the first few episodes.
Now Walter and Peter get al ong okay, Olivia and Phillip get along okay, and Walter performs remarkable experiments successfully and often says hilarious things.
Fringe is one of FOX's "Viewer Discretion Advised" programs. Despite this, Fringe is actually a very watchable show. Depending on the episode, I do not recommend eating while watching the program. Fringe is very intelligent and creative and partially educational. It reminds me of a Halloween version of a Star Trek series. Also, Fringe is co-produced by J.J. Abrams, who is a new producer for Star Trek. I try to watch every episode of a show before writing a review, but since Fringe is a new program that is still airing new episodes, this is impossible. However, so far I think Fringe is an excellent program.
And now I am going to mention The Internet Movie Database. If you read all the reviews on that website, (called comments) you can see many people do not like this show, and they think that it is unoriginal and dull. They do not rate Fringe with many yellow stars. People responding to the comments often say that they agree with the reviews.
I think that this is very surprising. I thought that Fringe will soon be as successful as House, M.D. Hopefully FOX will not read those reviews and quickly cancel Fringe after only 22 episodes. Unfortunately FOX seems to enjoy cancelling programs if they are not 110% successful. FOX needs to not cancel this series. It should run at least 15 years. But since when does FOX air programs for that long? The only program that I can think of that has been on FOX for an extremely long time is The Simpsons.
