Fringe

"We should do some new mystery series!"


That's how it all must have been started. Someone stepped up and said "Mystery is big! And science is, too! Let's mix it up and ... when we are already on that, I don't like these simple location descriptions shown at the side of the screen. We need to come up with something new for that!". "Fringe" was created. A mix of conspiracy, pharmaceutical companies, bio terrorism, mysterious phenomenons and of course the FBI and a lost love - what a series. In a negative way.

Agent Dunham (Anna Torv) creates a new team to solve strange happenings, getting herself a modern day Dr. Frankenstein and ... his son? ... and a few other FBI MDs and tries to find solutions for all the strange cases that come her way since her partner died in an other case where he had turned out to be the terrorist, not the victim.

Sounds illogical and messed up? Yes it is! And also it's very boring set up. The acting is some normal TV series thing and the only good thing is Peter Outerbridge in the first episode. I love Peter Outerbridge.

Oh and back to the location descriptions. Have you ever seen giant letters floating in the air in front of buildings showing you where you are? You will - in this series. When a line at the side of the screen isn't enough you gotta stretch the description to the whole scene and make it 3D. Very ... clever ... guys ...
