The series "The X-Files" is a truly significant milestone of its time. He appeared at the right time, at a time when arguments about various kinds of conspiracies, including the concealment of contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations, were in vogue in the States.
The series became fateful for the main actors: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. This on-screen couple has been looking great together for many seasons. They get to know each other, learn to work together, become imbued with trust in each other and supposedly teach us, the audience, how to support and save each other when all the power structures and whole departments are against. The world of the main characters Dana Scully and Fox Moldrea is its own close world, which may well be alien to an incomprehensible person, but it is so close to us, the audience, those who literally live life together with the heroes series after series, those who understand each of the two partners and truly empathize with both.
The first seasons have become classics. Fighting monsters and aliens from other worlds, government conspiracies and constant walking on the edge of the blade. All this allows us to trace the evolution of the main characters, who from season to season go to their goal, trying to get to the Truth. And we all know that the Truth is out there somewhere.
As a result, by about 5-6 seasons, the series seemed to have begun to slip, as for me, the plots became less interesting and serious, but still as interesting. But the viewer is familiar with the characters, knows what to expect from them, they have fallen in love and there is no desire to stop watching the general history of the presented world.
Seasons 8 and 9, in my opinion, contrast quite strongly with the previous ones. New main characters appear, the world around us is changing. The series tries to keep up with the times, having crossed the new millennium. But there is no longer enough of the beloved Molder, which is not enough on the screen. Cases investigated by FBI agents, however, come across quite interesting.
Seasons 10 and 11 were for nothing. Why did I decide this for myself? Everything is simple. I didn't really remember them, although I looked carefully. This is significant, because these seasons seem to be white noise. They passed by, they didn't really remember anything. What can not be said about the first seasons, when literally every episode is remembered simply by name.
The cast of the series is excellent. I love David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in these roles. William B. Davis, Mitch Pileggi, Nicholas Lee and others have performed well. Even the minor characters who were the heroes of this or that series were so convincing and colorful that you still remember them (hello to Eugene Tooms and Clyde Brookman).
The screensaver and musical theme of the series are very decent. They became iconic. The music in the series, the opening scenes of each episode - all this seems to invite you to plunge into the world of the 90s in America. The apathetic and anxious mood of each episode is in a hurry to say, now a new exciting and scary adventure awaits you. But you know for yourself that your favorite characters will come on stage and deal with what is happening with their inherent enthusiasm and zeal.
The X-Files is a milestone in history. A cult phenomenon of its time. A story that lasted in fact for almost 20 years. Let it end not very interesting, but the very fact of the existence of this story often warms, because periodically you can stumble upon this or that series on TV, review the series once again consciously and again immerse yourself in the interesting world of aliens from outer space and extraordinary monsters.
