Fringe Season 1 is a compelling, high-concept science fiction thriller that serves as a modern successor to The X-Files. While it begins with an episodic "case-of-the-week" structure, it eventually evolves into a complex serialized drama involving parallel universes and a deep overarching mythology known as "The Pattern".
