The X-Files (2016)

In my opinion there are 3 possible ways to review this show: 1. If you are an hard-core X-Files fan (as I am) and you started a long committed marathon to re-watch all the 9 previous seasons months ago (as I did) , you will probably find the first episode perfectly in line with the tone of the old show. Yes, they aged, but their messy relationship is still there, Scully is looking out for Mulder, Mulder is looking for the truth. Which apparently is still out there. For sure, after watching season 9, it feels like an improvement (at least Mulder is in it), but there's A LOT of explaining to do and a lot of nostalgia. P.S. A.D. Skinner is LOOKING GOOD! 2. if you WERE an X Files fan and just couldn't bare watching the last two seasons (8 and 9 ) 13 years ago, gave up and decided to remember X-Files at its best (till season 6) you will have mixed feelings about this new season. And it's ok. You will probably enjoy seeing our two heroes again, but the plot will feel way to messy and sometimes not really original. Take it as it is, no need to be judgy. It seems there are going to be several monster-of-the-week episodes, and you just may enjoy them! 3. You just heard about the X-Files YESTERDAY or from your parents and you are into every CW show. Then it's probably not the show for you. Knowing that, give it a try. It may surprise you, but there's a great chance Mulder and Scully are going to feel like your uncle and aunt.

X-Files is back and it feels like they never went away. It is still the show we fell in love with all those years ago. Only thing different is the updated conspiracy. The truth is out there.
