TV shows you definitely shouldn't watch alone at night

Fringe (2008 - 2013)
On the heels of paranormal procedurals like The X-Files and Torchwood, Fringe followed the lives federal agents operating along, well, the fringe edges of science. Created by J.J. Abrams (along with Star Trek cohorts Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci), the show focuses on members of the Fringe Division, an FBI group that investigates all kinds of fun stuff like genetic experimentation, time-traveling robot shapeshifters, and parallel universes. Although the show tended to stick closer to the sci-fi side of things, it often skewed towards supernatural elements—such as psychic powers—creating a distinctively off-kilter viewing experience.
