Fringe

A lot of hype going on because it's J.J. Abrams' latest series and the budget for the pilot alone was $ 10 million.

Anybody seen the pilot? I saw it a few weeks ago and was somewhat disappointed.

The beginning is very exciting and the mystery is really hooking. But soon the show starts to remind you of an average scifi movie with an unsurprising plot. There is a big turning point in the end but it's not enough to save it altogether.

The effects are great and all but the plot didn't convince me thoroughly. I might give it a another chance if the next episode is better.

Is this some kind of X-Files wannabe series?

A couple of promo/trailer vids to get the idea:

Quite interesting promo vids. The whole atmosphere reminds me a bit of X-Files but without all that extraterrestrial stuff.

^^ Yeah its pretty much like a modern day incarnation of the X-Files. THe Pilot episode was quite cool. I have only watched till the 2nd episode. Though its okay so far, I dont think its going to last long.

I've seen all the episodes shown this far and still don't think it's anything special. I'd give it 7/10.
