It took the Fringe creative team a very long time to figure their own show out, but they have - by embracing what the show is rather than what they wish it could be. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly May 24, 2018
Tell me this wasn't one of the most moving, thrilling, funny, inspiring chunks of television you've watched. Go to Full Review Noel Murray AV Club May 24, 2018
A season that in my opinion has cemented Fringe as an all-time sci-fi TV classic. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand May 30, 2025
... the closest show to inhabiting the "X-Files" zeitgeist of fringe science weirdness, offbeat humor and cosmic conspiracy, while still building the drama on a kind of pulp tragedy and the fatal flaws of its compromised heroes. Go to Full Review Charlie Jane Anders io9.com May 24, 2018
Genuinely creepy, funny, weird and awesome... The season when Fringe proves once and for all that it belongs up there with Twin Peaks, The Wire and the middle seasons of Star Trek: TNG. Go to Full Review Ramsey Isler IGN May 24, 2018

Chris F @RT41595001 Aug 5, 2026 To be honest, I stopped watching this season halfway and am done with the show. I loved season 1&2 but the transformation into this sci-fi thing was pretty disappointing to me. See more Andros K. @Andros_01 May 11, 2026 Fun series. We may not see anything else like it ever again See more Frans B @FransB Jan 5, 2026 Characters evolving and intensifying. Just as you thought it could not possibly get more confusing, just stick around ... Still top tier suspense, drama, action and mystique. Very well written and executed. Cinematography still amazing and visually stunning. It developed more depth and color. Anticipation for happens next is almost unbearable ... Very exciting See more Laurian D @Laurian Aug 11, 2025 Superb storytelling and character development. A gem of a TV show. See more David W @Sternhammer Sep 28, 2023 Superb. One of my all time favourite sci-fi series continues to just get better and better. The lore is expanded beautifully with regards to the alternate realities. It continues to have suspense, humour, wit and invention in spades. The acting is superb from the main cast who have wonderful chemistry. See more Toms c @tomscove Jun 4, 2023 Continues to be brilliant and cast are fantastic. See more Read all reviews
