I will be checking this out because it's from one of the main writers of Fringe.

I am sure there is a thread somewhere but my search skills didn't come up with it. Anyone else watching it? It has become a guilty pleasure of mine. May not be the greatest show on television but it is a decent weekly getaway in a future crime science fiction show.

Thank you for finding the thread. Im not sure this will get past its first year but I think there may be some room for growth.

This is on my DVR list. I enjoy it for what it is. I think the best thing it has going for it are the characters vs. a show like Agents of Shield were all the characters feel generic and the same minus Agent Coulson

I enjoy it, but they need to do less 'flavor of the week' cases and more focus on the main storyline.

This show, as far as structure goes, is eerily similar to Fringe and it's first season.

Almost Human is a great show, and I agree they need to establish a mythology, but 8 episodes in, I think it's doing great.

Have to say I am really liking this show but it simply scares me it's on FOX so I am trying not to get attached. The show has to be expensive but I really like the banter and think it's a solid show.

I think it's a minor miracle that Fringe lasted as long as it did, so there is some hope...

I'm into it. I totally agree that they need to focus more on the main storyline. It has real potential.

I want to know more what is on the other side of the wall.

They keep alluding to some mysterious force that put the two of them together. Like their is some agenda or someone pulling the strings in the background. Why? To what end?

I want them to dive more into that.

Fox strikes again. Seriously, this show was pretty damn cool.

There is a comfortable feeling of security that comes with consistency. For that, I applaud Fox. If they didn't show episodes out of order and cancel a highly regarded sci-fi series too soon, I'm pretty sure the world would fall off its axis.
