    If you want to sell me on something, it's currently a bad decade in history to try it by comparing it to the X-Files

    It's got some real good writing talent on it, though. Michelle and Robert King made The Good Wife and BrainDead.

    X-Files was one of my favorite shows growing up, although I was always more into the monsters of the week (I just tend to prefer monster of the week episodes with a lot of these sorts of shows, honestly - they can get weirder and play with tone more)

    I've also gotten less and less into science and science fiction and more and more into folklore and the occult as I've grown up, so when I've gone back to the X-Files, the difference feels all the more stark

    Also, as someone who knows way more about alchemy than chemistry, I'm really excited to see a version of this that has someone who is actually trained in the magic side of things as a part of one of these

    I never watched x files growing up, and watching the first couple seasons as an adult really really didnt work for me

    It's safe to say the episodes I love most kind of play Mulder as the buffoon.

    Wishful thinking, but I wanna see this Evil show investigate other CBS shows that had a supernatural/magical theme, like have them investigate angel sightings and have the cast of Touched by an Angel guest star or something. Just lean into all of the fantasy shows they've got in their library.

    Talking horse? Lady in a lamp grants wishes? Bewitching witches? TJ Hooker's cursed hairpiece?!

    If this turns out to be a backdoor reboot of the Dresden Files with Mike Colter as Michael Carpenter, you will know that I have two wishes left from the old lamp I found.

    Scullys Law states that when a tv show is based around investigating possible supernatural elements they will always find that those elements exist.

    Sorry thems the rules.

    In order to correctly gage the size of your existential crisis we need to know what season you are on.
