I thought it was meh....
The ratings were not good. Fringe will not last long if ratings doesn’t increase.
The ratings may not have been good but was it promoted at all? The first I heard of it was when I saw it in the TV listings.
I think one of the reasons that the rating weren’t that good is because the pilot was leaked online months ago - early summer - and I think that most of the fanbase had already seen it.
