Reply to comment by The_Firmament in Is The X-Files Worth Watching Start to Finish? by ofthedappersort

In X-Files, the monster of the week thing is the best part. The mytharc becomes a completely irredeemable mess after a few seasons.

However, X-Files did take a while to get it's footing like many shows. First season is pretty week. Second season is better. Third is where it becomes great.

Okay, I figured it had to get better considering its reputation. I find it difficult since the seasons are soooo long compared to now. If it were only like 8-10 I had to sit there I could power through, but I don't know if I can do 40+ to get to the good stuff. If I started again with S2 or even S3 would I be totally lost? Is there too much foundation I'd miss?

And thanks for replying, I'm glad someone finally responded to it!
