Top 30 TV Shows of 2012 : No 03 Fringe
My top show of 2011 has dropped a little bit this year mainly because I had a couple of issues with S4 but it is still a series that I love for all its flaws and to say I will miss it when it ends next month is an understatement.
Fringe is a show about family and love just with the crazy sci-fi elements as a delightful bonus and its impossible not to become overly invested in the lives of Walter, Peter and Olivia.
The darker things become, the more the future seems doomed the more hopeful I become thatFringe will have a happy ending. Because really after all the pain and loss they have been through they deserve a little happiness right?
Fringe became the show that filled the void in my heart after Lost ended and I am sad that there isn’t another show to replace it because well written, acted and character led sci-fi on TV is in an awful mess right now. After Lost was a success the networks tried to capitalise on it and they have failed every time with Flashforward, The Event, V, Terra Nova, Revolution, OUAT none of these shows really got what made Lost so good apart from Fringe.
Fringe understood its not just about the big concept but about how that is executed, it is about caring about the characters and the craziness.

We didn’t save the world. Not even by half. She’s still trying.
