Question of the day: Old friends (Answer: Fringe)

Since the question is translated into Russian incorrectly and with a lot lost, I'll answer the original version, which I first read on Twitter. I won't be able to write properly in English, so I'll write in Russian.

My answer is Fringe («Грань» or «За гранью»), I was eagerly waiting for its return, which exceeded my expectations. The first part of the season turned out very interesting and original, week after week I eagerly waited to find out what would happen to Olivia and Bolivia. As for «jumping the shark», it's hard to say, I hope it won't be soon, but I have a suspicion that it happened in the previous episode — it resolved an unusual situation and let the tension that had built through the first episodes of the third season drop. Now the show should return to its usual course and I don't know whether interest in it can keep growing from here. Then again, most people find it more interesting to watch unconnected standalone episodes, so the ratings might even go up. We'll see what the next episode shows, the one coming out in a few hours.

Also this year Smallville and Dexter made good comebacks, for «Smallville» this is the final season and they jumped the shark long ago, but even at the end they keep delighting and pleasantly surprising us. With «Dexter» it's more interesting, after the previous season's ending you might have thought the creators wouldn't be able to keep the interest up, but the show is setting records again.

The rest of the returning veterans disappoint to varying degrees, and there aren't really any notable newcomers this season yet.
