My favorite series of all 90s TV shows! I recommend it to the new generation of younger people to watch! Gen X got it going and now Gen Z needs to pick it up from season 11! Let’s get more episodes made to continue the legacy of the X-Files! Highly recommended! The shows are still great to watch any time or season! Great to relax with during a bad day at the job! Enjoy folks!

The first season of The X-Files is not widely regarded as one of the show's best seasons. It begins with three good episodes: the premiere "Pilot", which introduces the relationship betwen the two main characters, Multer and Scully; "Deep Throat", which introduces the only other recurring character of the season; and "Tooms", a stand-alone episode featuring one of the series' most popular villians. However, the quality declines rapidly after this, and what follows are some of the worst episodes in the show's history. Although there are some good episodes in the middle of the season like "Eve" and fan-favouries "Ice" and "Beyond the Sea", overall the quality of episodes is rather low. The season picks up near the end with episodes like "Darkness Falls", which showcases character development, and especially the season finale "The Erlenmeyer Flask", a stunning, taut episode among the best of all X-Files' episodes which brings all the developments of the season into focus and comes full circle with "Pilot". "The Erlenmeyer Flask" in many ways epitomises what is best about season one: there is continuity and development from one episode to the next. Not only do the episodes get better by the end of the season, the characters and relationships get stronger as well. The show does an excellent job of developing the characters of Mulder and Scully and the viewer can see their relationship change and grow as the season develops. Simiarly, the elusive Deep Throat, as well as his motives and relationship with the principle charcters, is explored as the season progresses. This is the best part of season one of The X-Files: it is dynamic, not stagnant. Even though most of the familiar characters in The X-Files don't or hardly appear in the season, the show changes and improves as time progreeses, and this is the most satisfying part of the season for the viewer.Read full review
I bought this season because my family used to watch X files years ago but I never paid much attention to it. And then I watched an episode on TV so I bought this to see more. Most episodes are VERY good. A few though are disappointing such as "SPACE". Others are some of the best episodes of X files. Such as "Squeeze" where a killer hibernates for 30 years then comes out to eat livers and can squeeze into air ducts. I love this episode. My family is more into these "Stand-Alone" episodes whereas I was more into the overall plot for the X files with the government conspiracies covering up UFO crash landings such as seen in the excellent "The Fallen Angel"
Came in great shape and I bought it because I heard that the first season was based off real stories but they got scolded a bit because they used the real cases that were to informative... found the video on YouTube I believe
