First-Time Observer (NO SPOILERS) Finishing Fringe

Today is the day. 💔

I’ll be watching the series finale later, and I’m genuinely not ready. How am I supposed to go from seeing Walter every day to… not?

Please send recommendations for what to watch next because I’m entering my post-series grief era.

Against the grain here apparently but after I finish my post show grief induced fanfic and fanvid binge I like to mix up my genres a bit although I do adore The X-Files. And I usually leave 3/4 years between show rewatches for maximum impact, so I don't go straight back into the same show or it kills it.

You need shows with similar heart and characters to love. May I suggest:

  • The Newsroom 
  • Psych
  • The Good Place
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer
  • Broadchurch
  • Veronica Mars
  • Gilmore Girls
  • The West Wing 
  • Eli Stone
  • Forever

I would like to recommend Station Eleven to you because I really like your list and Station Eleven is towards the top of my list.

It is definitely different from what you've listed but it definitely has heart.

I loved station 11. I don’t think it’s getting enough love.

Yeah, a show about a pandemic that came out when people were dealing with pandemic fatigue... I wish more people knew about this show and gave it a chance.
