Started watching Fringe, still on the fence about this one. Does it get pretty crazy and imaginative or is this just a sci-fi CSI?

As far as I can remember, it gets there in Season 2.

It's a show rewarding on the long run, I hope you'll stick to it.

The first season is essentially like The X-Files' 'monster of the week' episodes, with very slight foreshadowing of later seasons. Once it was renewed they went pretty crazy and it kicks off into a four-season 'end of the world' arc revolving around cross-dimensional travel, enslavement of the human race, and the consequences of screwing with time. Think the X-Files if the stuff they endlessly hinted at (eg: aliens taking over) actually happened, turning each subsequent season on its head.

 

It's not for everyone, you really do have to be into things such as The X-Files and science in general. But it is a shame that it takes so long to get going. After the first season it turns into a 'love or hate' kind of show (ie: you think it's the best shit ever or pretty meh), but the first season is definitely just 'OK'. Great for backstory but it really lacks the boundless imagination of the later seasons.

That sounds interesting. Wonder if I can jusjt skip the first 3 seasons then and go straight to what matters :)
