DVD Review FRINGE: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (BLU-RAY)

I initially came because it had J.J. (Lost) Abrams name attached to it, but I stayed for the bizarro mythos and the absolute joy of John Noble. It's unfair to coldly label this an X-Files clone, because the unfettered weirdness of the writing easily sets this one its own two legs.

Highly recommended.
