Is it worth starting?
This is 5 seasons deep — English sci-fi & fantasy, leaning drama, not one for younger kids. There's a lot of it, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on your week.
- Why
- Currently 8.1/10 from 2,922 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham, brilliant but formerly institutionalized scientist Walter Bishop and his scheming, reluctant son Peter uncover a deadly mystery involving a series of unbelievable events and realize they may be a part of a larger, more disturbing pattern that blurs the line between science fiction and technology.
