Fantastic show.

I didn't like the show when it originally aired. I watched a few episodes and didn't like it.

Recently watched the whole series and it is great.

Biggest snub in tv history is John Noble not being nominated for an Emmy in any season of Fringe.

Absolutely. It's a little meh the first half of the first season but gets awesome after that.

Very much so. I stopped after the first season because my dvr couldn't handle all the crap I was recording on Thursdays. Right before the series finale, I watched seasons 2-the end in about a week. I'm glad I took the break otherwise I would have had to wait week to week instead of all at once

I believe im on S3E4 ep 5 at most.

I watch a couple episodes a night. I felt at 1 point they really got off target with what they wanted to do with the show but brought it back pretty strong.


are there only 4 seasons? i feel like Fringe was on TV a lot longer. But only 4 seasons are on Netflix

those who have watched, obviously dont want any spoilers or anything but were you happy with the final season or so. I know a lot of shows just kinda pack it in late. simple yes or mehh will suffice.

Also do you think it has the rewatchabilty? are there things you picked up after or not really?

The last season was good. Kinda rushed but good. Have you seen Heroes? It's kind of like that roller coaster. Good at first, has a downfall, then picks up to just a smidge under the former glory of the first part of the series.

I don't usually rewatch most series. I don't know why. Even with GoT,(favorite show) I couldn't rewatch. I just remember too much of it. (I've read all the books also)

Yeah I thought S1 of heroes was amazing. 2 average. After that shite... I couldnt finish heroes. And so far that's not how fringe has been for me.

Season 5 gets sort of weird, but things still do make sense, and it falls in line with the overall plot of the series. And the finale is pretty excellent and does a good job of wrapping things up. You won't be disappointed.

I would assume so. I definitely plan to watch it again some time after season 5 comes out on DVD. By the way, that happens May 7th, so that may help with the Netflix thing (not sure how those are related, but I assume they are).
