About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want weird case-of-the-week investigations that grow into bigger mythology, similar to The X-Files, with plenty of twists and character drama; Not for you if you dislike later-season shifts or darker, upsetting plotlines.
Pros: delightfully strange mysteries; imaginative sci-fi ideas; strong character lineup | Cons: uneven later seasons; confusing reinventions; some distressing story arcs
