Multiple Sources Shit On X-Files Premiere

It is what it is, from the sound of things at least.  Those who have seen the X-Files return season premiere are not happy.  Probably worse that these sources are adept at ‘polishing the turd’ too, so to speak.

Variety notes a ‘palatable feeling that everyone is just going through the motions… a prevailing malaise’ and in particular has a problem with a monologue from Duchovny’s character. THR says straight up ‘it’s not very good’ but also says ‘there’s still hope left in the room that the five episodes to follow will be good’.

Indiewire also shit on the episode: ‘After one hour, I seem stuck in a strange place of wishing there were more episodes coming – giving them more time to work out the kinks – and wishing we would’ve never awoken this massive beast at all. While things could get better, they could also get a lot worse.’

Probably the end of the road…
