The special efx haven’t gotten more expensive, cameras haven’t risen in price, writers don’t seem to be demanding particular high prices, netflix takes anything that you can pitch without saying the word disney.
So what in the world happened? X-files was an amazing show and watching it you are not only entertained but you care about mulder and scully. The show is genuinely a great time. Why did they stop making them like this?
Have you seen Fringe? It’s a tv show from about a decade ago, very similar vibe to the X-files.
If you don’t like that and combined with all the other stuff in this thread, then I think you might just not like TV as a medium anymore.
