Fringe

Well, it isn't quite as good as I'd hoped, but still compelling, and miles better than The X-Files. It's just a bit too convenient that all the cases involve extrapolation on the decades-old work of Doctor Walter Bishop. Has no one done any new research into horrible ways to kill people since?

Also, how does Dunham shake off the effects of LSD so quickly? She's been dosed and put in that tank twice so far, and both times, within seconds of emerging, she's completely lucid. Dramatic expediency, anyone?

I've heard the series becomes far more interesting once Leonard Nimoy shows up.

Best episode (of the ones I've seen so far): "Safe" in which subplots start to come together and the mysterious Mr Jones is sprung from his cell in Germany using a device built decades ago by (wait for it!) Walter Bishop.
