My mother showed me this series insisting it was a classic and I should watch it if I like classic movies and shows... My GOD WHERE DO I even BEGIN? The show starts out pretty mediocre but steadily over time gets pretty alright, maybe even good. Sometimes, like once in a blue moon its great, but I think the show is best when its a parody of itself. There are some great episodes though, Bad Blood, Humbug, Driver, to name a few... but other times the show gets really really dumb. REALLY REALLY STUPID AND DUMB AND BAD. The main story line get tiring and predictable after a few episodes, and despite a few good surprises, it is pretty boring after a while. This show is dated to say the least, the acting is mostly bad, though the leads improve over time, the music is too loud, the effects are good, the story has some cool parts, but as mentioned before its mostly trash, the humor is sometimes hilarious, other times I just want Mulder to shut up, this is the biggest mixed bag I have ever seen, its almost fascinating... SPOILER TERRITORY HERE: This show gets really dumb okay? We are talking Gender Swapping Sex Pilgrims for Outer Space dumb. The show claiming the main antagonist killed JFK and MLK JR, then trying to make you feel bad that no one likes the book he wrote dumb. We are talking a flash back were a guy threatens to kill Mulder by going
" I'll (pause) GET (wink) YOU (smooch)!" dumb. Also that same guy can live forever and he has a lizard hand and talks like:
"Muuuuuuuuuuuuulllll-Duuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrr"
Its almost become a joke around the household. I know i'm just a teenager, but this is one of the most baffling shows I have seen. Sooo dumb.... Yet also kinda good? Whatever. Its entertaining and thats all that matters, so if you can find it for free give it a go.
