The X-Files: My Struggle (2015)
Season 10, Episode 1
1/10
The thing I liked most is the title sequence

Warning: Spoilers
As a hardcore x-files fan in the past I was so excited about this new series. And I had my share of WOW effect at the very beginning - the title sequence, the Roswell crash... and then... I tried so hard to like it, at least a little bit... To find something that I used to love in the old days. But no. There was no Mulder and Scully. Just some people pretending to be them.

The plot is poorly written, - so hectic, so illogical. The scenes are poorly timed – too many long shots of Scully in the hospital, rather repeating one another and fairly boring, split with some explosions and hasty dialogs. The roles poorly acted by both tired Anderson and Duchovny. Hectic dialogs are so misplaced and emotionally irrational that leave you constantly wondering what this was about. Looks like some lines were introduced specifically to recite the relationships between the characters. But why? This is not aimed at any new audience. New people won't understand any of that. And the old fandom knows the characters perfectly. True Skinner would never tell Mulder that he was looking out for him. It was delivered by his actions over the period of time. And true Scully didn't need to tell Mulder she cared about him, cos it was clear from her look and her actions.

I really hope the next episode won't be such a disappointment. So far it's the worst episode of the X-files I've seen.
