Title: The beginning
Review: Before The X-Files became a global smash hit for Fox, it started as a modestly budgeted Friday night thriller that soon became a cult classic. Then virtual unknown actors David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson starred as FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully respectively; both of whom are assigned to the X-Files: a division of the FBI which investigates paranormal activity. Like many of Fox's other prime time shows at the time (except for The Simpsons and Melrose Place), the future of The X-Files was uncertain; so the on going plot lines and self-parody hurmor would not take full circle until later seasons. This first season isn't the best in the series' nine season run, but it is a step into one of the greatest prime time telivision dramas to hit network TV in years. Standout episodes include "Darkness Falls", "Ice", and "Squeeze/Tooms" which guest starred Doug Hutchison (The Green Mile, Salton Sea) who was one of the most underrated and creppy villians the series would ever have.
