Created by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci, the cult sci-fi series Fringe stands as one of the genre's best TV shows of all time, at least according to Rolling Stone.

The five-season-long tale of Peter, Olivia, and Walter, parallel universes, visitors/invaders from the future, shapeshifters, doppelgangers, and weirdness in spades has given us countless fantastic hours of television.
