TV Time

[T.A.P.]

For whatever reason, I've felt like watching the X-Files again.

I watched a good chunk of the early seasons when they aired, but apparently tuned out sometime around season 4 or 5.

I know people said the show got really bad in the later years, and I'm wondering if there's any good solid spot to call it quits, or if I should try to sit through the whole thing.

Is there a specific point where the show just goes completely to shit?

Season one, episode one.

This was all so helpful. Thank you.

I'm a big X-Files fan. I think anything up to about the end of Season 7 is solid. The first five seasons are the best, though.

I don't know much about the order of the seasons.
I stopped being able to watch faithfully as I worked
nights the x files came on in my later adult life.
I do remember not caring too much about mulder being
gone in the later seasons.
In fact, it kind of irked me that they tried to bring him back.
I was perfectly fine with Robert Patrick,
who is a pretty decent actor to put in the role.

I guess you know they are having talks about doing one more season.
Maybe it was good that Chris Carter's amazon prime series got cancelled.

Same.

I can just about tolerate bbc as there are no adverts here but other than that I'll just watch boxsets when a season ends.

To answer the original question though it's pretty much agreed that it went to shit at series 4 but for me I remember watching an episode with an evil twin and some circus freaks and thinking right, that's me done then. Don't think it was even the end of season 2.

Yes, this too for me.
