Fringe, Season 3

In the series that Rolling Stone cites as the “most exciting drama around right now,” Fringe returns from a season of alternate realities and endless impossibilities to explore the boundaries of a mysterious mythology that holds millions of viewers in its hypnotic grasp. Denizens of last season’s Fringe-verse included shape shifters, cryonic heads, belly-dwelling beasts and people who turn to ashes before our eyes. But Season Three continues the rabbit-hole journey of three unlikely souls — FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, Fringe Scientist Walter Bishop and his jack-of-all-trades son Peter — through mind-bending investigations, parallel realities and threats growing in the borderlands between science and the unimaginable. The world of the impossible is alive and well in this series that offers “the most satisfying, coherent story arc of any science-fiction-flavored primetime drama.” (The New York Times)
