Fringe vs. X-Files

Fringe is more consistent, has a tighter story, Walter > Mulder, and is more compact. That actually works in its favor. But it's way more fantastical as well. Fringe is polished. Love it.

However, X-Files is a bit grundgy, more realistic, Mulder+Scully > The Fringe Team, and it's a better mythology.

I've watched both all the way through couple of times, so I'm a big fan. If forced to choose, I would say X-Files, which also has the benefit of being more groundbreaking, whereas Fringe is Abrams' attempt at Lost done right.

I didn't like fringe. X files for life
