Probably the end of Season 1.

i remember watching season 1 and thought it was an okay show but it never really drew me in. i stopped watching it after that. when did it become an obsession? im thinking of starting the show over and giving it a real shot this time because of the great things ive heard.

Fringe gives you bites where Lost gave you chunks. So it took significantly longer for the mystery to explode, but it's better because of it. In comparison, the question of Lost, "Where are we?" was explicit before the show even started. Fringe, I won't spoil, but it's a slow burn in comparison.

The mythology explodes, the characters become much more complex and the entire premise, born out of the first 6 episodes even, is unleashed. Brilliant show.
