What I liked

The stunning special effects bring the show to life but the whip-smart banter and chilling portrayal of toxic relationship dynamics give this show it’s gushing heart. The actors’ performances are fantastic and really bring the world to life.

What I didn't like

I would love to see even more blood. They did a great job tightening the script for Fringe but I would love to see an expanded version in the future, the show definitely deserves it.

My overall impression

What a phenomenal, hilarious, and harrowing show. From the very first scene the show is an enthralling blend of humor and honesty, remaining impressively grounded and true-to-life amidst it’s metaphorical world. We gasped, we laughed, we wanted to enact our own violence on fictional characters written a little too realistically for comfort. Altogether a fantastic Fringe experience not to be missed.
