I would say that if you like XF, you'll like Fringe.
Oooh, fabulous. I liked--not really loved, but liked--XF a whole lot, but almost entirely for the Monster of the Week episodes and the Mulder/Scully relationship. (The angst was good, but I really loved how deeply, deeply weird both of them were.) The mytharc just bored the hell out of me once I realized, somewhere in S6, that it was never going to amount to anything. Having a coherent plan = good thing.
I actually tend to like cold and unsympathetic female characters; possibly because I know I come off that way in RL, or perhaps I just enjoy imagining ways to bring them out of their shells. It's also fun to watch them warm up in canon.
