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?

xfiles, star trek (kirk, picard), twilight zone from the 1960s, twin peaks (first season), honey mooners, I did like the first season of true detective with mathew maccaughnahey and woody harrelson. I watched the first season of apple invasion before giving up after season 2 started (I just couldn't do it anymore). I am a big fan of broad city though, a show that is very underrated, also workaholics was fun.

Reading through all your comments, you have tastes like my dad. He didnt like thrones or breaking bad, but he does like the expanse.

I'm gonna throw some things out here for you.

Mighty Boosh (comedy)

Lexx (absurd sci-fi)

Voyager (give it another shot you might like it this time)

Severance (low sci-fi)

Barry (dramedy)

Faulty Towers (comedy)

Farscape (sci-fi)

The OA (if you watch this, you need to just Believe everything you are being told, question nothing and accept it)

Dark

American Crime Story (season 1 and 2)

I love your OA caveat. So true.

If everyone could just do that when they watch it - they would see how good the show is. I mean the OA says you have to trust her at the start of the show - so just do that and enjoy the ride.
