The X-Files

Fox
1993-2002/2016-18

Let’s be clear: Your imagination has to be very large to appreciate the world of “The X-Files.” But thanks to David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson (and their undeniable chemistry), fans hung on to every surreal and fantastical thing Mulder and Scully said. Balancing a rich (if eventually frustrating) mythology with its famous “Monster of the Week” episodes — and balancing Duchovny’s true believer with Anderson’s perpetually shocked skeptic, “The X-Files” was a canny, glossy mixture of FBI work with the endless possibilities of the universe. It worked well enough to last nine seasons, two movies and another two seasons in revival, and many fans still believe the truth is out there.
