    It it wasn't for the Goddess that is Gillian Anderson i wouldn't even bother. It has been turned into low budget, poorly written trash.

    The 'Blade runner' style internal monologue in Ep 1 was kinda stupid. Eps. 2 & 3 were okay, but Ep 4 was unwatchable garbage. Just let the X-files die or get better writers.

    Sorry, but warming over the '90s version of this series isn't going to get it. It should've been a full blown reboot that devoted itself to the alien colonization plot. But instead, they're using the same, tired recipe from 25 yrs ago because that's such a well worn path to success - not. Both Gillian and David look old and tired, they don't have the same youthful exuberant look or energy.Sorry, but warming over the '90s version of this series isn't going to get it.

Both Gillian and David look old and tired, they don't have the same youthful exuberant look or energy. They should've been fully replaced, too. I would've said all this ahead of time but everyone would've said "give it a chance, watch then judge." Well, did and my opinion has been validated. It'll limp by with a 5-share rating and hopefully be retired, but Carter may have gotten a guaranteed second season, much like MacFarlane obviously had for his "Orville". Sidebar: network tv is in real trouble with their pathetic show ideas. Streamers like Amazon/Netflix/Hulu along with HBO/SHO/Epix are shaming them with FAR SUPERIOR original programming.… Expand

    We've come to expect the stand-alone episodes to represent The X-Files at it's most excellent, and that's the case in the first half of this 10-episode season. [8-21 Jan 2018, p.13]

    This new batch of episodes is considerably stronger. Even the ones that don’t really do much but spin their wheels do so with feeling, and when the show is great--as it is, yet again, in Darin Morgan’s episode--it’s downright sublime.

    The first episode is dragged down by more conspiracy blather, interminable voiceover and way too many apocalyptic predictions of doom. And there are a few too many references to Donald Trump's presidency and friction with the FBI, elements that feel dated even as we watch. But Anderson and Duchovny remain one of the television's best-ever teams.
