off topic real quick: when did fringe really start hooking people?

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.

I don't think it ever really "hooked" me as much as I just watched the first episode and liked it so I kept watching.

Fringe is one of those shows that I was glad I got in at the beginning...it seems like it got more popular as it went on (at least on this board).

It's just good. I will say that season one had a lot more "serial" episodes. Although it also had overarching plots, it definitely had its "monster of the week" premises...which don't get me wrong, I liked those too. But as the show continued, the big plots were fleshed out a lot more/better, and it built into the final season, and ended on such a high note with a great finale.

If you were interested at all in what you saw in season one, I'd definitely say give the whole series a shot. It's surprisingly great IMO.
