At 15 years old, this sci-fi gem beat the odds of cancellation and boldly told stories that could alienate new and old viewers.

After seeing all the 'net fan chatter about Fringe, which never was even on my radar in it's initial broadcast run, I downloaded all 9 seasons, and started watching. Ana Torv is worth the price of admission all by her lonesone, what an absolutely stunning and talented specimen of the human race, but the rest I'm finding is a bit hard to chew, granted I've only made it 7 episodes into the first season, but find myself unmotivated to go back for more. Does it get markedly better?

I grew to really like Walter. The actor did it so well

IMO, yes. Near the end of season 1 it starts to become apparent that all those "random" monster-of-the-week occurrences aren't really random, and the plot becomes increasingly more serialized as time goes on.
