Someone (bore favourite the tired walrus) asks if they should watch the x files, this gem pops up

It's generally speaking a completely different time period nowadays (pre-Internet, pre-social media, etc.), so it feels weird. And the storytelling is slow af, lots of filler episodes with very few continuity episodes. Very different than what we're used to now.

And I suspect OP got more or less similar feedback since he mentions getting "conflicted results online when looking this up". So it's not just me making things up.

Lmao I’d love to know how old this poster is

Monster of the week episodes were the best thing about X-Files. The Witcher would have been better with more of that type of thing.

Absolutely. And it made the occasional main story episode all the sweeter because the overarching plot wasn't moving forward every week. Same with Supernatural before that started to suck.
