The pilot episode introduces us to Special Agent Olivia Dunham who lands a case where an entire plane load of people are killed without crashing. We learn her partner/lover may be a traitor and somehow involved. Basically, we learn there is a sinister group in the world experimenting on the world. In order to make sense of what's happening and the science involved they turn to Dr. Walter Bishop, a man who's been in the insane asylum for twenty years. Joining them is his genius son Peter to help keep him from going completely bonkers. Dr. Bishop worked for the government on secret experiments called fringe science, thus the name.
It's a wonderful combination of paranormal, conspiracy-theory nuttiness that I just love! The first season is on DVD! So check it out if haven't yet.
If you watch this show why do you love it? If you don't, what show on TV are you just completely in love with and why!??
I've never heard of this show, but oooh you make it sound exciting!
ReplyDeleteI just started watching this show last weekend on DVD! So far, I'm only four episodes in, but I'm really enjoying it!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the three first episodes on the telly and loved it. I couldn't watch it anymore, because my shifts changed! Too bad!
ReplyDeleteWe watched the first few episodes and then caught behind in our tv watching and gave it up. Maybe this summer when there's nothing on tv I can get the dvds from he library. I really liked it.
