Jan 6, 2018The episode was ok up until the ending where they jumped the shark pretty much. It won't make any fans happy i think.
There was also too much politics .Dunno what Trump has to do with this. Can't get away from him. -
Mar 10, 2018Big fan but disappointed in season 11. In the limited run I wanted to see aliens and government conspiracy in a common story spanning all episodes. I don't want to see stand alone shows about nothing really.

Jan 22, 2021For the most part relatively entertaining but maybe it's time for Mulder & Scully to retire.

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.
