unwatchable. bought it ages ago, can't watch it in it's current state an they won't give a refund. you have to scroll through every episode to get to where you're up too. if you're up to season 9 you have to scroll manually 9*24 episoded while it lags out due to the size of the catalogue.

Loved the early seasons aliens, science, supernatural phenomenon it is truly great but when they started to replace Mulder & Scully the show lost it's soul but was great up to that point wish I could say the films were half as good though! BTW Mark Snow is the best TV Composer of Modern times as he also did Smallville as well!

The best TV series ever,but Fox Molder went sometimes overboard with his Alien believe, the normal Human brain knows that at this moment there are no means to travel from one Galaxy to another Galaxy the billions of km are just toooo far to make Contact with other Lifeforms ,otherwise very very good show. However when we changed the Internet company it took more then 2 weeks to change over, also many purchased movies and TV series like X-Files are lost.Google wants me to pay that X-File series.
