Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files?

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?

Do you actually like serialised content? Most TV is now serialised, as opposed to being episodic like X-Files.

I am not sure, I guess I'll find out soon enough ...from what you said it's the only show in town...

OP, have you watched:

  • Doctor Who
  • Black Mirror

I'll add another one, "Dark".

OMG, Dark! I pride myself on being the one that found and introduced this show to all my friends, who now all agree that it is the best time travel story ever told.

Now the question is, captions or dubs? Most people who watched it are hardline Captionists, but my wife hates reading dialogue so we watched with dubs. I think they did a great job with them.

Caption definetly.

There are very few pieces of media where the dub is equal if not better than the original language.

Network TV still does police and medical shows that have a 'monster/crime of the week' style, but it's rare now.
