В сериале «Fringe» рассказывается о специальном агенте ФБР Оливии Данэм (англ. Olivia Dunham), безумном ученом Уолторе Бишопе (англ. Walter Bishop) и его сыне Питере (англ. Peter), которые исследуют аспекты науки за гранью (телепатия, левитация, невидимость, реинкарнация, генетическая мутация, и т.д). Происходит ряд достаточно загадочных событий, называемые «Образцом» (например, новорождённый ребёнок, за считанные минуты взрослеет и умирает; автобус наполняется странным веществом, которое мгновенно затвердевает, а пассажиры становятся как москиты в янтаре), как будто кто-то экспериментирует, но уже над целым миром, а Оливия, Питер и Уолтер берутся за расследование этих странных событий, чтобы определить их источник. Они обнаруживают связь «Образца» с корпорацией под названием Мэссив Дайнемик(англ. Massive Dynamic), которая является ведущей глобальной исследовательской компанией, с кучей патентов на многие новые и важные технологии.
---------------------
Fringe follows the exploits of FBI special agent Olivia Dunham, mad scientist Walter Bishop, and his son “jack of all trades” Peter Bishop as they investigate aspects of fringe science (rare diseases, cryptids, transhumans with psychic abilities, teleportation, and so forth). All over the world, a series of apparent experiments collectively referred to as "the Pattern" (e.g., a newborn baby who rapidly ages and dies within a few hours, a bus full of passengers trapped in a strange substance like mosquitoes in amber) are occurring for reasons unknown. Olivia, Peter, and Walter are in charge of investigating these strange events to determine their source. Connected to the Pattern is Massive Dynamic, a leading global research company that holds the patents for a number of new and important technologies. Their enemy is ZFT, a bioterrorist organization which is orchestrating all of the strange occurrences in order to prepare for a destructive technological singularity. Tying both sides together is a nootropic drug, called Cortexiphan, that was developed by Walter and his partner, William Bell (now chairman of Massive Dynamic), which Olivia and a number of others were treated with as children. The first season closes with Olivia meeting William in a parallel universe where, among other differences, the World Trade Center was never destroyed by the September 11 attacks.
Unlike his other series, Lost, J.J. Abrams promises the series' story arc will be easier to follow and more accessible for those who skip the odd show. In an interview first published in September 2008, Abrams said: "Lost has garnered a certain reputation for being a very complicated show and one that you have to watch every episode. Fringe is in many ways an experiment for us, which is, we believe it is possible to do a show that does have an overall story and end game, which Fringe absolutely does… We can do a show that has that, so that there's a direction the show is going and there's an ultimate story that's being told, but also a show that you don't have to watch episodes one, two and three to tune into episode four."

Отсебятина:
На мой взгляд, очень интересный сериальчик. Джей Дж.Абрамс, постарался. Каждая серия новые события, тем не менее есть сильная сюжетная линия.
Интересные поворты сюжета, оригинальная и очень актуальная идея, замечательные актеры, все это - "Грань".
