Though the government is convinced that the outlandish reports are false, conspiracy theorist Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and realist Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), for most of the series, stop at nothing to prove that "the truth is out there." Series creator Chris Carter also serves as executive producer of the thrilling pop-culture phenomenon. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Feb 02 Buy Now

      Sebastian L There really seems to be an X-files before and after the first movie. Apart from the season and mid-season finales season six seems to be a hodgepodge of wacky leftover ideas. Although some of them are indeed entertaining, the show has stopped taking itself seriously. Ironically Duchovny is maturing as an actor and the chemistry between him and Anderson is better than ever. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Bruno V Temporada horrorosa, arrastada e tudo de ruim. Será um divisor para o fim? Será que compensa continuar?

      Nick De Semlyen Empire Magazine It's clear a lot of love was poured into this one, effectively a love letter to those who worship at the altar of the show. Oct 15, 2017 Full Review Ira Madison III New York Magazine/Vulture The Alien Rebels kill the entire Syndicate, so you'd think the government conspiracy is over, and we don't have to worry about alien colonization anymore. You'd be wrong. The mythology manages to somehow drag on for three more seasons. Oct 15, 2017 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club This was a series still alive with all of the possibilities of being a big, hit television show. It was, in other words, a show playing offense, not a show trying to hang onto its audience for dear life. Rated: A Jan 5, 2015 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [Adds] coloring, texture and confirmation of long-held suspicions. As a result of the events in these episodes, The X-Files will have to head in some new directions... viewers will certainly know almost all they need to know about the conspiracy. May 3, 2019 Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies "Drive" in turn becomes a memorably scary X-Files episode - not for any particular monster or alien presence, but because of the perhaps most frightening element of the show's world ever: mankind itself. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Grace Duffy The Mary Sue I'm glad they wrapped this storyline up before it got any more mystifying but it's also way too open-ended to be satisfying.
