OK, I really enjoyed this and I really hope they make a new season. It picked up the variety of the X files from old and kept me watching. But, I think they could have tried something new, perhaps some intriguing darker and new storyline or something. A little like when the black oil was introduced in the original series. It gave things a new twist and some wow factor. Suspense is the word I'm looking for. Didn't find too much of that. Still it's good to see it back.

No doubt the truth is out there as to why this revamp is so poor, but let's start with awful plot lines and terrible dialogue. Don't bother. Really don't bother. 👽

Mulder and Scully return in a new 6 episode mini series for since the original ended in 2003. The first and last episode are my favourite, the others are mixed bag, some are okay, some not great! I still prefer the originals more though.
