Hey, do you like
procedural crime dramas? Maybe some of those paranormal myth busting
programmes? What if somebody combined the two?
X-files plays out a bit
like a backwards Jonathan Creek, after much investigation it's
discovered that there isn't a clever explanation at all and it is in
fact a monster/alien/government conspiracy. It's almost like someone had been watching Gravity Falls, travelled back in time 20ish years and created a
more grown up version.
The first series is
getting dated, even more than some niche staffers (BURN!), horror
elements and special effects don't have the impact I expect they had
first time round. On the plus side Molder and Scully are younger and
somehow still crush worthy despite the best efforts of 90's fashion.
Their relationship and the growing alien mystery keep things moving
even through some of the weaker "monster of the week" type episodes.
