Fringe

A moody, brainy procedural that starts as creepy case-of-the-week weirdness and slowly becomes an emotional puzzle about family and parallel worlds.

Tagline: Question the answers.
Overview: FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham, brilliant but formerly institutionalized scientist Walter Bishop and his scheming, reluctant son Peter uncover a deadly mystery involving a series of unbelievable events and realize they may be a part of a larger, more disturbing pattern that blurs the line between science fiction and technology.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, dark and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, family, science, mystery
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
