      andrew w This series starts to progress the overall storyline whilst keeping the MOTW episodes consistent, a lot of memorable characters are introduced in this season. Definitely recommended Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review D W The early seasons are a dream, and with very little grand narrative episodes. Those begin seeping in with season 3, but 1 and 2 are pure problem-of-the-week, and highly enjoyable and uncomplicated as a result. Good mix of themes, ideas, and inspirations. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/22 Full Review alessio w The plot remains clever and the chemistry between its two leads is excellent for the show itself.

Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Frederic M. Biddle Boston Globe The X-Files remains the Twilight Zone of the '90s, but more elliptical, with few factual conclusions and a ceaseless paranoia about the US government. Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Lee Sandlin Chicago Reader The X-Files has become Oliver Stone's Ghostbusters. Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Jonathan Hatfull SciFiNow By the time the show really hits its stride with the second and third season, the writers had found a near-perfect balance between its arc plot and its monsters of the week. Rated: 5/5 Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Nina Sordi Den of Geek The events that go on here really laid the groundwork for the mythology arc for the rest of the series.
