A promising new TV series from the creative talents who gave us "Alias" gets very good technical treatment and a sizable, if slightly redundant, set of special features.

I really enjoy the show and it seems like a fairly nice set but at $50-ish, I'll probably hold off for a sale somewhere down the line.

Thanks for the review, Cameron!

It's a joke that WB is still putting lossy DD soundtracks on these TV series that certainly deserve better. Look at Universal Studios - The Office season 5 received a DTS-HD MA track. Here we have Fringe which would have a much greater benefit of a lossless codec getting the ole shaft in the audio department. Sad....

What is worse is that the DVD has a 384kbps track. My review is forthcoming.
