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?

      There are a lot of weird cringey exchanges in this show similar to this that end up being stylized writing to trick or subvert the viewer. You should continue watching

      Well, you’re missing out. You want a show with an accurate portrayal of hacking and tech culture? Good luck, it doesnt exist. But at least this show tries to use legitimate tools and techniques used in the real world.
      It’s also not what makes the show interesting though. I can understand if it’s not your thing but this scene should not be the deciding factor.

      Honestly i laughed at the joke.

      I only saw the first episode.

      I then gave myself an summary spoiler and didin’t like at all the way the story went on.

      Oh please don’t let this keep you from watching this show. This show has at least two of the best end-of-season reveals of all time (first and last season).
