Absolutely horrible, just horrible... Episode 1's writing/dialogue is so very bad that the actors couldn't keep from smirking during their lines. It only gets worse from here. From product placement cuts to joel mchale to the writing to the lack of seriousness by dd... It is an incredible insult to the original fans. Just absolutely unwatchable. This is my only review on the site to date, just to express my complete dissatisfaction with this renewal.
Bottom line, it felt as of carter was/is fed up with the xfile legacy and decided to make a 'Community' style parody of the show, primarily to alienate his old fan base and give everyone the flying bird. The writing is so bad it insults the intelligence of the viewer, assuming that viewer took seriously the chance of a real xfile reload as happening. Not even the actors took it seriously, though w how bad the dialog was it is hard to blame them for not taking it seriously. It wasn't even a good parody, not at any point was it funny or amusing. Just insulting.
Clearly this was done not for attempting to make a quality show, but to hit and run a cash pay day. Taints my love for the original series, and movies. This isn't a tribute, it isn't a parody, it is just horrible TV. And insulting to the intelligence of the viewer. Disgusted. Totally unwatchable. Horrible. I have much more descriptive feelings, but IMDb wont let me write those words. Just absolutely horrible... And i blame cc. Though dd didn't do anything but wear a smirk under every line he uttered, so even he didn't take it seriously. GA at least tried, and mchale gets a pass simply because he isn't an actor at all, and is at least intelligent enough to recognize the junk he was scripted to speak. Horrible effort all around, except ga, though what could even she do w the writing? Nothing. It was all very, very bad.
