This show has definitely been gaining a lot of buzz since its release, with more and more audiences tuning in every week. Could it be because of the "J.J Abrams" factor? I think so. This guys is awesome when it comes to awesome story-telling. Fringe has garnered positive reviews from critics, with some calling it, "an update of X-Files, with the addition of terrorism and the office of Homeland security." 

When this show was first announced, I was definitely very curious about it. Maybe cuz of the fact that I'm a huge Lost fan. J.J Abrams has given us one of the biggest shows in history, and I wanted to see if he could do it a second time. The show definiftely had an X-Files vibe to it, and they manage to keep the 2 hour premiere interesting. I'm excited to see where they take it from here.
