Good start, but then it gets ruined

Boring

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I loved the variety of interesting episodes along with the subtle humor. It's very much like I remember the show from before". I also loved the ongoing story of their son. I really hope the Xfiles continues. Am very much looking forward to the next season!

The X Files combined all three genres very well, and threw in alot of conspiracy theory as well.Whatever magic wand was used, almost every story grabbed your attention, and kept you wanting more...seldom does a show take story telling beyond scene by scene positioning, yet this one literally wove the plots into another world entirely...

A story about pensioners surrounded by conspiracy and fake news... No, not the Whitehouse. Skullee and mouldy. Great series in it's days but now tired and old like the cast. Dreadful stories, painfully slow stilted dialogue acted mostly in the dark. Most dialogue tries to explain what happened 30 years ago, who people were, what happened then. Is almost as if they are trying to 1. Appeal to a new audience - fail. 2. Appeal to the old audience, who are now senile - fail. David Duchovny looks like he has melted. I'm too much of a gentleman to comment on his companion. She can lie in a comma very well. Method acting I think that's called. It is perhaps good that the few stilted lines of dialogue are easy to remember for the cast. S As a reboot it is just a reboot of some last minute careers. As a new x files, it needs a new cast and new stories. It is good to see that the fbi employ the elderly but not to the extent that they don't know that a computer system has a backup. (episode 2).But to be fair nor does my elderly mum. How come they weren't aware that the x files would have been digitised. I assume assume that their ability to dodge assassination bullets is because they use octogenarian assassins. How come the smoking man hasn't got lung cancer? Why bother with an overarching theme of the end of humanity. Surely the real president can manage that without a shadowy organisation. Actually, to be fair, why bother? The biggest mystery? Why series 11? Why those 2 actors? Why am I watching it? Will I watch episode 3? Oooooooo!! Spooky! No I won't bother. Some stuff is best left as good in its day.

The tortured effort to insinuate 2017 political drivel into the show doomed it. Why start out aggravating half your audience and present half baked scripts to finish off the remainder? Is it to serve some higher cause? If so make the case within the context of the stories rather than have the characters flippantly hand out opinions at completely nonsensical times. A sad end for a once great show.
