THE X-FILES (Season 1, Fox Network Television Release USA 1993)


Ben Meyers Summery Rating 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

Summary of The X-Files: Season 1

The X-Files: Season 1—FBI crime investigation television seriesplays on the general theme of believing that the supernatural and aliens can be involved in difficult to solve cases versus not believing in that involvement. Each episode earns its watch by serving very well-written scenarios that vary widely in content but never vary in interest. The Season 1 deserves its Season 2.
