This show intrigues me but I’ve never watched it.

So help me out, is the only way to get into it to get the DVDs and start with the first season, or could one jump right in?

I know that the producers like to say that you can jump right in; but, honestly, you can't. Not at this point. I don't know if you have Netflix, but they have prior seasons available.

It is worth watching, and IMHO, the two-hour premiere (first episodes) was the best premiere of any t.v. show I have ever seen. It was spooky, eerie, scary, action-filled, interesting characters. It hooked me immediately.

Well, Fringe is one of those shows you can't really just jump into 4th season in. You either have to read up on what's been going on thus far, or you can catch up with all the episodes online here

Like you, I was a late to the show. I chose to get the DVDs to catch up. IMHO it was well worth it. I would describe the show as a combination of The X Files and Lost. So if you liked those you’d like Fringe.

I’ve watched it from the beginning and have never missed an episode. However, I have become lost in the storyline many times due to complicated plot development. I think one would be unable to understand what was going on without the previous seasons stories.
