Recently finished a rewatch of "Fringe" and now I'm about midway through season 2 of "Defiance." (2013-2015). Probably on to rewatching "Babylon 5" and the attendant movies, after that.
I liked Fringe a lot but felt it fell off after Season 3. Really didn’t like the last season. I remember liking Defiance okay, but stalled out halfway through. Does it finish strong? Jump the shark? Or just kind of dribble out?

It's been a long while since I watched "Defiance" but as I remember it, after the bit of shark jumping at the end of season 1 and into season 2, it does fizzle a bit in 3. It's clear that they were going for a longer arc but got it cut short, so tried to give viewers a resolution that they could enjoy.

"Fringe" did get derailed in the final season and that wasn't as good as previous, but I guess Abrams felt he had to keep it going somehow. it might have been better left as the 1-off episode in season 4 it was, than being turned into a complete 5th season.
