 iCloud?Why isn't this season available to stream, but the other two are?.Score: 5/5

Totally Amazing.This series is a little bit like the X-Files, it has tons of interesting cases! I would recommend you buy the series or watch it, because you won't be disappointed. :D.Score: 5/5

I'm Hooked!!!Great show!!! Just started watching it. I caught half of an episode and I was hooked from there. Smart and very interesting..Score: 5/5

Walternate!Fringe is the best show on television right now! I absolutely love the characters, but John Noble's Walter Bishop/Walternate is absolutely awesome. I love the mythology that this show has to offer. J.J. Abrams does a fantastic of throwing a curve ball on a seemingly normal world show. Whether it's the Watchers, Locke, or the Rambaldi Project, I love J.J. Abrams work on his shows..Score: 5/5

Super showThis is one of the best shows ever! A kind of modern version of x-files but way better..Score: 4/5

RentalThis needs to be available for rental. Too expensive..Score: 1/5

WHY DID I RESIST THIS SHOW FOR THREE SEASONS!Whenever I saw bits or pieces of this show on tv, it left me uninspired and cold. I'm as bad as tv or movie execs who expect shows to explain themselves immediately... in a single five word quote. I wasn't sure if I really like this show after two episodes... by end of the fouth, I am hooked and just hope they can sustain "the pattern." The strange "fringe' science is less important to me than the motivations of the characters. Are the betrayals really betrayals? Is loyalty just a sham? Are past actions a sign of what a person will do in the future? Will past actions help or hinder? Another thing: the main character is played by Anna Torv. In clips of the show, I thought she seemed rather limp. She wasn't instantly appealing to me. She doesn't use glamour, flashy acting, or star charisma to seduce you. Sadly another reason I probably didn't latch onto this show immediately. But by episode four, she anchors the show with an integrity I need amid all the conspiracies of the plot and the uncertain behavior of every other character. She' great. Give the show a chance..Score: 5/5

Hooked!I found out about this series a couple of months ago. I'm totally hooked on it! I love the theme, but I could be biased since I'm a science major. John Noble (Walter) is my favorite character. The fourth season premieres on Sept. 23 and I can't wait..Score: 5/5

Fringe season oneThe amazing backstory of fellow CBI agent, Olivia Dunnen flows into the plot of Fringe, weaving into several episodes. The director of Fringe has really outdone itself making it captivating and draws you to following seasons. Review by Lidia Bodamer 12yrs.Score: 5/5

Modern True SciFiA perfect blend of the 'X-Files' atmosphere with hardcore but digestable SciFi, with 'Minority Report' futuristic art direction and that excellent touch of J.J.Abrams ('Lost', 'Star Trek' movie) wraped by the jaw droping soundtrack supervised by Michael Giacchino ('Star Trek', again; 'Mission: Impossible').

Where is season 2?Amazing show. Caught the new season on Fox but where is the new season here in Canada on iTunes? Don't tell me they need to relicence a show for every season?.Score: 5/5

WOWI was lucky enough to catch this TV show from the beginning to end and have been waiting restlessly for it to come out on iTunes, so thank-you iTunes! This show is really worth watching if you are into the sci-fi type of stuff. It has great suspense, action and thrills and has lots of suprises. It really does keep you guessing! Be sure to watch them in order though, because if you miss one episode sometimes another won't make sense. It is great fun watching the experiences of Olivia Dunham (Anna Torve). Check out some of the fan websites for additional info and secrets. I can't wait for season two. I do warn though, if you are REALLY sensitive to creepy images, maybe this show isn't for you! ~Heather.Score: 5/5

Entertaining, but terrible "science"The show is pretty entertaining, worth a watch, but really....some of the worst "science" ever. Most of the explanations for the crazy stuff that goes on are difficult to take seriously, and it's tough for the viewer to stay immersed in the show. It requires a pretty big willing suspension of disbelief, so just turn off your brain, forget everything you learned in science class, and enjoy an average (but not terrible) Sci-Fi..Score: 3/5

GREAT!!Wow, Fringe is a great show, one of the best on TV! I just started watching it, and throughout the entire episode I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens! I hope the soundtrack comes out soon, Michael Giacchino is a genius!.Score: 5/5

Addicting!I love this show, the cast is so talented and pitch perfect, Anna Torv(olivia) and Joshua Jackson(peter) are amazing. But John Noble as Walter Bishop is the highlight of the show! Watch this show, the finale of S1 is mindblowing!.Score: 5/5

BoilerplateOof, what a bust. Plot from the mind (and attention span) of a 12-yr-old; script without wit or wisdom; wooden characters; and bad acting. The only bright spot was Joshua Jackson (as Peter)...poor guy, he's a good actor caught in a weak cast. Ok, there was one other funny thing: how clearly 'Harvard' was actually the University of Toronto. "Everything tells me I've got to get out of Boston," says Peter, just as the camera pans past the CN Tower! :-o.Score: 1/5

Incredible ShowFringe is one of the best shows on TV. The cast members work very well together and the special effects are great. I like how each episode varies from others but at the same time each is somehow connected (i.e. the bald headed man). Looking forward to season 2. Keep up the great work JJ..Score: 5/5

Caution: this product may cause a dangerous addiction.I've been watching this series since day one and honestly, if there is one series that is worth to be seen, it is Fringe. Great cast, great filming and a thrilling storyline! And the last season is stunning :) Je regarde cette sĂ©rie depuis ses tous dĂ©buts et honnĂȘtement, s'il y a une sĂ©rie qui vaut la peine d'ĂȘtre vue, c'est Fringe. Des acteurs talentueux, une esthĂ©tique remarquable et une histoire palpitante! Et la derniĂšre saison est fantastique :).Score: 5/5

Best showThis is one of the best TV shows I have ever watched. Well worth the wait don’t just watch one episode you have to stick with it. If you love JJ Abrams you have to watch.Score: 5/5

Great Show Season 4 Missing - fix this pleaseThis is a top class show, regrettably I purchased all the seasons before realising season 4 of this incredible show was missing. Don't purchase this show until season 4 is included it will only drive you mad, I have purchased season five and I can't watch it without seeing season 4. Congrats to iTunes for getting the show, it's been a long wait. But the package is incomplete. iTunes is asking us - to borrow an analogy that fits to Watch 2 weeks of Wimbledon until the Quarter Finals skip the semi-finals and watch the Final. I am disappointed that a 5 star show is getting anything but star treatment. Please rectify this crazy mad scenario..Score: 5/5

ExcellentBrilliant show, great and interesting (and dare I say it, quite original) characters who are complicated and have complicated but meaningful relationships with one another. The story is really intriguing and well researched. I don’t resent giving the money, but I do wish it was available a bit cheaper as I haven’t been able to afford to watch the other seasons yet..Score: 5/5
