Product Description
Fringe, the series that Rolling Stone calls the "most exciting drama around," returns with a brand new season of endless impossibilities, exploring the depths of the mysterious saga that holds millions of viewers in its hypnotic grasp. Shape shifters, cryonic heads, belly-dwelling beasts, and shadows that turn victims to dust inhabited the last season. Season three plunges further down the rabbit-hole as we rejoin our three unlikely partners--FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, brilliant but damaged scientist Walter Bishop, and his jack-of-all-trades son Peter--on mind-bending investigations, battling threats lurking at the border between science and science fiction. The world of the impossible is alive and well in what The New York Times describes as "the most satisfying, coherent story arc of any science-fiction-flavoured primetime drama."

Fringe is one of the best shows to be aired in a very long time, it is also highly original and persistently entertaining. If you haven't already watched the equally awesome seasons one and two i suggest you start from the beginning because the story arcs and episodes all link together from the very first episode.
The show follows Olivia Dunham a beautiful FBI agent who along with Peter Bishop and his mentally unstable 'father' Walter solve cases that involve Fringe science which is basically all the weird and abnormal things that are created by scientists and sometimes ordinary people who have no clue what dangers they are meddling with. This season moves on from the solving cases concept and the overall story arc is developed on a much larger scale. The episodes alternate between taking place in our universe and the parallell universe where the doppelgangers are also at work on something big.
This season is action packed, exciting, mind blowing, addictive and thoroughly entertaining - not since LOST or Alias has a show been so watchable and engrossing. The actors, particularily John Noble who plays walter are excellent and each brings their own talents to the very uniquely written characters they play.
This is an excellent box set - it comes loaded with extras that include documentaries, making of's and a very funny blooper reel. For anybody interested this is packaged very well, a sturdy outer slip case that houses three slim line cases, the cover is also 3D.
FRINGE is a show that can produly stand against Lost and Alias as being the three best ever made for television. JJ Abrams is a genius for creating great shows, this is no exception. See if you liked Lost, Alias, X files and CSI.
If you start from season 1 you will not regret it, Fringe is addictive television at its very best.

Oh dear... I'm running out of superlatives to describe Fringe. You've certainly got to keep your wits about you for series three with storylines ricocheting between the `real' and `alternate' universes. The multi-layered plots twist and turn maintaining a consistent tension and intrigue while the underlying mythology is gradually developed, giving weight and depth to the whole narrative. There are a few relatively pointless stand-alone episodes which do nothing to further the ongoing story but I think these can be forgiven. The final episode is astonishingly original and more than a little confusing but with a totally unforeseen (well, by us, anyway) outcome and is peppered with references from earlier episodes (the opera house, the bridge, Peter's silver half dollar...). We even watched the last two episodes twice to make sure we'd got the right end of all of the various sticks.
The cast are brilliant but the real star is the writing - it is equally clever if it has been fully storyboarded boarded out from the start or if it has been made up as they go a long. We're just glad that, contrary to the popular trend, this show wasn't axed early-on by short sighted and unimaginative network bean counters. Let's hope that season four, rumoured to be the last, tidies up all of the loose ends and has a satisfactory conclusion.

About to buy season 4
We enjoyed seasons one and two very much and so it was with season three, even though I had to explain many times who was real and who was parallel to my easily confused sister. Read more
