After seeing all the 'net fan chatter about Fringe, which never was even on my radar in it's initial broadcast run, I downloaded all 9 seasons, and started watching. Ana Torv is worth the price of admission all by her lonesone, what an absolutely stunning and talented specimen of the human race, but the rest I'm finding is a bit hard to chew, granted I've only made it 7 episodes into the first season, but find myself unmotivated to go back for more. Does it get markedly better?
IMO, yes. Near the end of season 1 it starts to become apparent that all those "random" monster-of-the-week occurrences aren't really random, and the plot becomes increasingly more serialized as time goes on.
can I skip season 1, or which episode of s1 that I should be watching that I can begin season 2?
A lot of things that happen in season one set up or are referenced in season two. While you probably could get away with skipping season one, you'll miss out on context.
Rewatching S1 after S2 is pretty amazing, though.
But you can definitely just not watch the last season. It's basically disjointed from everything.
great! thanks for the tip! looks like I got a new series to follow.
And the episode prior to the last season actually wraps things up pretty well.
