Product Description
From J.J. Abrams (Lost), Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman--the team that brought you Star Trek, Mission Impossible: III and Alias--and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and Bryan Burk comes a drama that will thrill, terrify and explore the blurring line between science fiction and reality.
When an international flight lands at Boston's Logan Airport and the passengers and crew have all died grisly deaths, FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham is called in to investigate. When the search nearly kills her partner, Special Agent John Scott, a desperate Olivia searches frantically for someone to help, leading her to Dr. Walter Bishop, our generation's Einstein. There's only one catch: he's been institutionalized for the last 20 years, and the only way to question him requires pulling his estranged son, Peter, in to help. Under Special Agent Phillip Broyles, our trio will discover that what happened on that fatal flight is only a small piece of a larger, more shocking truth.

Fringe is a series that to me felt like an X-Files 2.0. After seeing the full 4 seasons I know I was wrong. It's in a league of it's own. If you like CSI, X-Files and sci-fi then you will like Fringe.
Pro
This box is very well made, the boxes are solid, that is they aren't of such flimsy plastic you're worried to break them when you open them.
Fringe itself is ofcourse the biggest pro.
Con
This only counts if you want subtitles.
If you're from the scandinavian countries you are oke with subtitles, if not then you will have to do without them in season 3 and 4.
As I didn't really need subtitles I still gave 5 stars.

Having been introduced to 'The Fringe' by my sister's family (they are all obsessed by it), and having seen Series 1 on a set of DVD's they had, I became obsessed by it too. They had series 2 and 3 but on blu-ray which I couldn't play, so I had to order the complete 1 - 4 to be sent when it was available. I am mightily impressed by the everything about this series; the stories (which show the influences of, amongst others, 'Dr Who', 'Star Trek' [OS, NG, V, DS-9], and the 'X-Files'), the cracking dialogue, the production values, and not to mention the excellent performances given by everyone in the cast, not just by the main characters but by the people featured in each episode and minor characters as well. I was not a little surprised to find that the series has not won any Emmys (only being nominated in any case for Best Visual Effects). John Noble is outstanding as Dr Walter Bishop, and neither he nor Anna Torv have garnered the critical acclaim that they should have done. Given the premise of alternate universes, meaning that there are multiple versions of each character who often have very different personalities, the acting talent shown is remarkable. For British Sci-Fi fans who adopted the 'X-Files' as one of their own; who watched all the Star Trek versions; and grew up on Dr Who, and are big on the current series', 'The Fringe' should be a total winner. I can't recommend it highly enough!

The product arrived in time, the blurays were ok. The only problem is that it was not described which subtitles were included... It was impossible to know, here we both speak english, original sound was not a problem, but when you have someone that does not speak the language, i dont recommend this product. The subtitles should be part of the description of the product.

Gets better with watching.
A bit confused and sometimes just depressing, during the first season. It gets better with more watching, as the seasons progress. Read more

Perfect!
Riveting viewing. Just keeps on getting better. J.J. Abraham's has surpassed himself, an improvement on lost for me. I cannot wait for Revolution.

An interesting idea
I found the first season a bit slow with its 'a new monster per episode' format but the second is so much better. Read more
