Okay, here's the thing about me. I'm a stickler for a good, smart drama. Who isn't, right? If the dilouge and/or writing for a series is good, if the characters are believable, you'll sell me on anything. I'm sold on The X-Files. This long-running TV series is one of the most origanal shows on television today.
The X-Files premired on the FOX network in 1993. Since then, the show has become a favorite of both critics and audiences alike. The series focuses on two FBI agents, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, as they investigate the paranormal. I love the high-resolution drama and wit that goes into each episode, and after five years, the characters on this show are very real.
Okay, these are the agents extrodinary. David Duchovney and Gillian Anderson, aka Mulder and Scully. These two FBI agents are the most recognizable TV couple, even though their relationship is purely professional.
Each agent has their own agenda, be it to uncover alien conspiracies or discredit the work of the X-Files. Dana Scully's original job was the latter. She has a background in medical science and was chosen to work with Agent Mulder on the X-Files because she could use her skeptical, scientific outlook to discredit some of the wilder cases of paranormal activity. Sensible Scully is the perfect foil for Mulder's wild attitude towards the work of the X-Files.
Hmm, Agent Mulder. Haunted by the memory of his sister Samatha's abduction ten years earlier, Fox conintually 'seeks the truth', no matter what sort of danger it leads him into. Once a promising young agent with the FBI, Mulder relocated to the basement and teamed up with Scully to investigate the paranormal. Always clever and usually engaging, Mulder and Scully's careful teamwork has made The X-Files the show it is today, and I never miss an episode.
