At 15 years old, this sci-fi gem beat the odds of cancellation and boldly told stories that could alienate new and old viewers.

After seeing all the 'net fan chatter about Fringe, which never was even on my radar in it's initial broadcast run, I downloaded all 9 seasons, and started watching. Ana Torv is worth the price of admission all by her lonesone, what an absolutely stunning and talented specimen of the human race, but the rest I'm finding is a bit hard to chew, granted I've only made it 7 episodes into the first season, but find myself unmotivated to go back for more. Does it get markedly better?

There are only 5 seasons that I'm aware of. If you enjoy the idea of parallel dimensions and movement between them sparking a war, that's the basic premise for seasons 2-5. It can be a slog, but I'd argue if you liked Star Trek, LOST, or even Breaking Bad, there's a similar arc but each season can be a slog to get through.

That's a pretty spoiler-y description of the show.
