It's sort of interesting working through Fringe and seeing how it's a more standard telling of the 'man walks into the Underworld' storyline - also Sanctuary's premise.
Fringe is more standard than Sanctuary, because the focus is the everyman character - Olivia - while Sanctuary is focused on the mentor-of-the-everyman - Helen. It's less standard than the usual telling of the 'man walks into the Underworld' storyline because the person walking into the Underworld of Fringe is actually a woman.
Anyway, this ramble was brought to you by a post on DW:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
newredshoes' explanation of why you should watch Fringe.
I agree with all of it and direct you there if you've ever considered watching Fringe and wondered why you should.
