Fringe TV Show Season 5 Review
“I knew this day would eventually arrive, my review of the final
season of ‘Fringe’. Right from the very first episode all the way through
it’s one hundredth this series set a new standard for intelligently written
and imaginatively produced story telling even witnessed on television. ‘Fringe
‘was frequently bizarre, often enigmatic and always entertaining it took up
the mantle of multi complicated, multiple season story arcs to an entirely
different level. The creative mind behind the series, J.J. Abrams has been a
force to be reckoned with on TV for years with his cult classics; ‘Alias’
and ‘Felicity’ making him a household name. With the series, ‘Lost’ he
took imagery, convoluted plot devices and interaction with the fans to a place
never imagined before. The mistakes in pacing that were made in ‘Lost’ as it
began to unravel and loss momentum were for the most part avoided in
‘Fringe’ resulting in a series that constantly defined itself…Many show
just phone in the last season but not ‘Fringe’. This last season exhibited a
dedication to the integrity of the story and a respect for the diehard fan. the
final character arcs fleshed out what had been previously established and gave
the audience a resolution that worked, it is understandably sad to see it end
but this is a series that you can revisit many times and each time pick up new
nuances.” hometheaterinfo.com
