General Discussion First time watcher.

I didn't catch this show when it aired. Too busy, family was young, etc.

Fringe was recently recommended in another show sub. So I dove in.

Wow. The writing/story of Fringe is something I cannot even perceive. Who has this in their mind? Who can think about all of this? It's so foreign to how my mind creates things. My mind works in a totally different way. It doesn't produce fiction like this. I can't make believe these story lines, plot twists, characters..... Professionals. Artists.

Then there is the actors. Wow. Anna Torv is amazing, playing two similar but believingly different persons. John Noble? Fuck me....these actors became their characters. What a performance.

One of the best TV series I have ever watched. And I'm not a fan of Major network TV series....there aren't that many.

I'm on S4 so no spoilers! (BTW, I'm not even a Sci-fi person which is why I'm so impressed by this show in so many ways)

General Discussion The ACTING

I'm on S3 E17, where Olivia gets possessed by William Bell, and I just can't get over how outstanding the acting is in this show overall! Even some of the guest actors have been phenomenal!! I can't believe I haven't heard of this show earlier, on the acting prowess demonstrated by dozens of actors in this show, Fringe deserves so much more popularity and praise than it has now!

I don't know, I just can't get over how well characters are portrayed, how actors can play two different but identical characters with such similarities but also such small nuanced differences, it's honestly crazy
