Offering a holistic approach to television criticism, this
analytical companion to the popular show Fringe examines the
drama's mythology and unveils its mysteries while exposing
significant cultural issues addressed in each episode. With a
strong basis in science fiction, Fringe has all of the archetypal
characters and themes of the genre, from the covert mastermind and
the mad scientist to dangerous advances in technology, parallel
worlds, and man-made monsters. Along with many other post-9/11
television shows aired in the West, Fringe has demonstrated a
society's collective paranoia about foreign invaders, on the one
hand, and domestic corruption on the other. It also lays bare the
fear of radical advances in technology and urges its viewers to
ponder the ethical limitations of science. This guide explores how
the show uses these elements to tap into a deeper understanding of
the human experience. Less focused on individual episodes, this
book is split into three parts, each discussing a broad element of
the narrative experience of the first three seasons of this
multilayered show.
