The special efx haven’t gotten more expensive, cameras haven’t risen in price, writers don’t seem to be demanding particular high prices, netflix takes anything that you can pitch without saying the word disney.
So what in the world happened? X-files was an amazing show and watching it you are not only entertained but you care about mulder and scully. The show is genuinely a great time. Why did they stop making them like this?
I’m middle-aged, and Xfiles was great, but some of the best shows I’ve seen have been in the last decade

like what do you recommend?
For example, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are two series I could watch on repeat. Absolutely solid.
First few seasons of Orange is the New Black (really ran out of steam after that imo)
Now, sci-fi specifically … it’s been a while since I’ve seen a good one. Some people I know really, really like The Expanse, though for me it just didn’t connect. Black Mirror is hit and miss, but when it hits, it’s amazing (the stinker episodes are real stinkers though).
I mean … Game of Thrones. Just not the finale lol
The Expanse
Funny, this is another one of those shows I hated after watching an episode.
maybe it’s me. maybe I should move on to maybe comics or cartoons or something idk anymore
I tried Breaking Bad - hated it. I never gave Better Call Saul a chance as there is nothing that seemed promising about it. I guess I could watch an episode of Better Call Saul, I just don’t see this being a good idea. Now I can’t hate it because I never watched, it once I watch an entire episode, I have a hunch I won’t remain so indifferent… :/
edit2: I hate HATE HATE game of thrones with a passion, I gave it a shot twice! (2x) What’s worse is the entirety of society gaslighting you into it not being an awful show.
Admit got is no-where near as good a time as x-files. I just watched a humanoid leech escaping through a system of sewers. I witnessed alien abductions. Intrigue within the fbi. Secret allies, even more secret conspirators and classified government units on even more classified government missions.
got is like a bad off brand xenia warrior princess…
Firefly. Watch the one season before the Movie. Then there are 8 novels now and comics by both Dark Horse & BOOM! Much disagreement about BOOM!'s but they got canceled too. It’s at least critical to read up on Wash’s family history and more, I think, but whatever.
