Fringe
“Question the answers.”
CreatorAlex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci
FBI agent Olivia Dunham is drawn into the shadowy world of "fringe science" after an inexplicable catastrophe, teaming with an eccentric institutionalized genius, Walter Bishop, and his estranged, cynical son Peter. Investigating a rising tide of impossible events, they confront teleportation, mind control, alternate realities, and horrors that blur the line between cutting-edge experiment and nightmare. As standalone cases give way to a vast, intricate mythology, the trio uncovers a war brewing between parallel worlds and the tampering that set it in motion. Marrying eerie procedural chills with emotional depth and mind-bending science fiction, it grows into a poignant story about fathers, sons, and the cost of playing god.
