Is Fringe great TV? Probably not. But, it is a lot of fun and is a show that refuses to talk down to its audience. The acting and writing have always been strong and it revels in telling quirky stories. The fact that the entire show has been transported 21 years into the future for this final season makes it almost like its own 13-episode mini-series (14 episodes, if you count the episode near the end of last season that introduced us to the future world that is run by the Observers).
I am watching and enjoying it. I am so thrilled that Fox is allowing the show to go out on its own terms. They really showed faith in it despite poor ratings. I am pleased some network executives were willing to say, "ratings be damned!" in the face of quality programming that appealed to a small, core audience.
