Enjoyed fringe a lot for what it was. Good cast - John noble was great. Enjoyed all the seasons. Masterpiece though? No.
Mmmm … I’m rather open to the argument of the video which is that for its time it probably did very well at the things we’ve come to value about TV more and more over time. You know, compare it to something like Marvel and Star Wars, which feel like they’re dominating the sci fi tv space at the moment. The amount of grey-ness the characters have while also being portrayed sympathetically and even endearingly without shying away from what they are … it worked for me when I watched it and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has aged rather well.
Marvel is lazy. The Orci/Kurzmann/Abrams brainchildren are clumsy.
