Pros: Great Acting, Storyline, Characters, Creative, Spooky
Cons: Special Effects, Some poor episodes

The X-Files Show was one of the strangest ever to be put on television. It certainly was different from the traditional dramas, and stupid sitcoms that seem to lower America's collective IQ on a daily basis. For some reason I can't stand the ...

Pros: Interesting characters, Decent stories, Genuine Tension; mood
Cons: Uncertain acting, Episodic Nature

I need to pre-empt my opening to this review by saying I am a fan of "The X-Files." In fact, I like a lot of the early "The X-Files," before it lost the core of what it truly was. That said, if one is to invest the exorbitant ($100 - $140) amount Fox ...

Pros: Imaginative and dark stories, great suspense, outstanding characters
Cons: A couple of really bad episodes

Cons: Total lack of extras, no commentary?

I've been a long time fan of the FOX television drama "The X-Files" ever since I saw what are now my two favorite episodes from the show, "Talitha Cumi" and "Herrenvolk". It doesn't take much watching to see that this show has superb writing and...

Pros: Characters, stories, beginnings of mytharc
Cons: A few VERY bad episodes

I did not watch the X-files when it first aired. I was four when it began, it would have scared the living daylights out of me. I watched the series afterward, well aware of how big a hit it became, and how much of a cultural impact it had. This is where ...

Pros: entire season on 7 discs
Cons: none

Pros: mildly interesting sometimes
Cons: over-stylized, pretentious, takes it's self too seriously, very self-conscious
