13 Years On, All 100 Episodes of a Criminally Canceled Sci-Fi Show is About to Stream Free

I’ve seen so many people online calling this show the greatest sci-fi series ever made – it really mixes crime, science, and emotional drama like nothing else I’ve watched. And now, it’s amazing news for fans like me: Pluto TV is adding all 100 episodes for free streaming! It’s a huge win for sci-fi and streaming in general.

Premiering in 2008, Fringe is a highly acclaimed sci-fi series – critics give it a 91% rating – starring Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, and Lance Reddick. The show follows FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham (Torv) as she joins the Fringe Division to investigate strange and unexplained events. She’s joined by Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble), a brilliant scientist formerly in an institution, his son Peter (Jackson), and fellow FBI agent Astrid Farnsworth (Jasika Nicole). As the team investigates the consequences of reckless scientific experiments, they uncover connections to their own histories and a parallel universe. However, each solved case leads to new revelations and further complications.

Fringe Doesn’t Take Itself Too Seriously

What makes this show special is its ability to capture the spirit of classic series like The X-Files while still being genuinely funny. Critic Charlie Jane Anders described it as “genuinely creepy, funny, weird and awesome,” and even called it “the most daring show on television.” Though it had some early challenges, the series ultimately found its stride, delivering thrilling adventures and compelling character development, solidifying its place among television greats like Twin Peaks, The Wire, and the best seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

What set the TV show Fringe apart? According to one viewer, it wasn’t afraid to explore gray areas. Unlike many shows, Fringe didn’t offer easy answers, and characters often struggled with difficult choices and uncertainties. While John Noble’s character, Walter, initially seems like a source of humor, he’s actually a surprisingly complex and conflicted figure, just like many of the others on the show.

Pluto TV is adding the sci-fi series Fringe to its already extensive collection of the genre. According to a recent press release, this expands Pluto TV’s impressive sci-fi lineup, which includes all 11 seasons of The X-Files. The X-Files quickly became Pluto TV’s most popular on-demand show among men aged 35-49, and the third most popular overall, within its first month. Beyond Fringe and The X-Files, Pluto TV offers a wide range of sci-fi TV shows and movies, including titles like Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Stargate SG-1, and Doctor Who, available both on demand and through its dedicated Sci-Fi channel.
