The X-Files: Underneath (2002)
Season 9, Episode 12
6/10
Good start, poor conclusion.
29 November 2022
Having served his time for several brutal murders, Robert M. Fassl is released into the hands of a wealthy woman, who helps with his reform, but the killings start again.

After the splendour of the previous episode, Audrey Pauley, it's back down to Earth with a huge thud, Underneath has some great ideas, some wonderful parts, but it's like a cake with the egg chucked on last, it just doesn't gel.

Fair play to Agen Reyes, she's up and about very quickly having not long been at death's door, but that's not the problem, I've always been able to make sense of the plots, and I've seen My Struggle 3, but this one, I couldn't fit it together, it was a little muddled.

No fault with the acting, and those opening scenes were pretty chilling, but the conclusion was way off, that was a total misfire.

6/10.
