If you liked X-Files, you'll like this. I recommend.

Gag. I watched the first few episodes of this show and then gave up on it. It was like a bargain basement X-Files, except where X-Files had a great horror element to it, Fringe tries, but fails miserably. They introduce some cool idea that's weird, or creepy, but about half way through the episode, they give you an explanation for it that just makes it into a boring science project.

I like the scientific part of it. I'd probably hate the show if it was just purely unexplained paranormal events. I look forward to either being interested in, or laughing at, the explanations and their basis in science.
The characters are pretty well done, too. Particularly Walter.
