Name: Fringe
Released: 2008

100 episodes · 5 seasons · FOX · 2008

Fringe: 100 TV episodes — about 4 days of television. The complete series keeps every episode in the catalogue.

Paths

All 100 episodes across five seasons, in the catalogue’s original broadcast order. Start here for a first viewing: apparently separate cases can matter to the continuing story. A separate, conservative rewatch route omits ten early episodes; neither choice removes the ending. Season-two numbering includes the delayed episode Unearthed, so match titles as well as episode numbers on your streaming service.

In a hurry

The story-first rewatch

90 of 100 episodes for a return visit. Ten early case-led detours are omitted; seasons three, four and five stay complete because their ongoing threads overlap. Disputed cuts remain in the route, including Marionette, Bloodline and the final season. This is a conservative editorial rewatch, not a claim that a newcomer can miss nothing by skipping. Read the complete-series path if you do not remember the connections.

Before you choose a route

For your first viewing, use The complete series. The shorter path is explicitly a rewatch: it assumes you already know the connections between the selected episodes.

The catalogue follows original broadcast order. Unearthed was produced for the first season but aired during the second; it appears here at S02E11. Some services number the surrounding episodes differently. Check the title before jumping.

Runtime totals use the stored broadcast-slot metadata and can exceed actual streaming play time. No streaming-service availability is claimed here.
