Critics' reviews

"[5th Season Review]: Fringe will continue to be the best show of its kind since 'The X-Files' (...) When you get the small things right, it's less crucial that your universes and time shifts exactly line up."

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"[5th Season Review]: For Fringe's small but loyal following, resistance is truly futile. We'll stick with this remarkable series to the end."

Ken Fox: TV Guide
"[5th Season Review]: The cast is so uniformly excellent that one's seduced into following the narrative despite the show's rather glaring narrative flaws."

Chris Cabin: Slant
"[4th Season Review]: If you think Fringe has forgotten anything in its history/mythology, you underestimate these wily master producers."

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"[3rd Season Review]: Rather than waiting for a future payoff, Fringe is cashing in with every episode, showing us the escalating war between worlds-and with likeable characters and compelling cases to boot"

Aaron Riccio: Slant
"[3rd Season Review]: I have to put in a good word for Fox's excellent Fringe, which returns with a strong episode tonight that helps demonstrate why Anna Torv was cast in the first place."

Ellen Gray: Philadelphia Inquirer
"[3rd Season Review]: 'Fringe' return in fine form, with Fringe possibly taking top honors as the Show of the Night. It's that good."
