After finishing Twin Peaks and looking for some similar shows, I stumbled across The X-Files. I have always been interested in all this supernatural and alien stuff, so I thought it would be my fav TV show of all time, but when I started it a couple of months ago, it was kind of a disappointment

So I watched 1 whole season and some episodes from 2nd one, and then dropped that, because it was kind of mostly boring. Although, I must admit that some episodes like the Ice one or with Twin Sisters were some of the best TV series episodes I've ever seen. Now I came across it again some time ago and now I think to start it over maybe. (I have plenty of shows on my watchlist but I also hate when something is unfinished omg)

Have you seen The X-Files? Did you like it? Does it get any better after season 1?

I'm waiting on the BluRay release

I saw maybe one episode years ago. Is there a storyline or just random cases?

Yes, it's a brilliant show. It peaks at season four, which has some of the greatest episodes in television history. The seasons after that are still really good.

The X-Files is possibly the greatest show to ever grace television. It also set the blueprint for other shows, and in more ways than one. Huge fan of the show and I've seen literally every episode.

Though I do think season one was great, I'd say it got better with every new season as the shows dynamics became more complex. Not familiar with Twin Peaks, though. I'll look into that.

I started watching it a few weeks ago, I'm about 6 episodes in. It's really good so far.

It's one of my favorite shows! Gillian is such an amazing actress <3 Does anyone remember the PS2 game Resist Or Serve? It was really fun.

And what aspect of the show do you find to be 'boring'? season one was well-crafted with solid episodes as well as good character development with Scully & Mulder's characters.

I grew up on The X-Files.

I haven't. It's one of those classic shows that I know everyone has watched and I know I should get round to watching for myself sooner or later but every time I go to start it the motivation just goes.

Yeah, I get why you would be disappointed after looking for something similar to Twin Peaks. I've never gotten the comparisons between the two shows, other than having David Duchovny in them. Both are weird, but different types of weird.

As for TXF, I've always preferred the standalone episodes to the ones having to do with the overarching mythology plot - that whole thing just turned into a MESS, and it's best just to ignore it because it never goes anywhere satisfying IMO.

Good eps are: Small Potatoes, Home, Bad Blood, Humbug, Never Again, Leonard Betts, and Roadrunners (one of the few great episodes after DD's exit from the show). There's more, but those are my faves.

THIS. My investment in the characters got me through even the shittiest, most muddled episodes of the show.

Ofc I've watched the most legendary tv show ever

omg the same!!!!!!

the show is too long. scully is so annoying.

twin peaks >>>>>>>>>>>>>

It's on my watch-list.

Yes, I grew up on the X Files. I used to love it, until the last couple seasons.

The episode "Home" is probably one of the scariest things I've seen on TV as a kid.

Not only one of the best, but one of the most creepiest & unsettling episodes, too.

The show was really good, I didn't finish it because I didn't have cable back then and they stopped airing it but so far all the episodes that I saw were good. The movie is interesting as well.

What other shows are on your watch-list, by the way? I need some more shows to get into.

Every episode.
