Season 11 so far isn’t flawless, but it’s a lively, character-focused affair that feels far more unified than we’d ever anticipated, a massive improvement over Season 10 that gives us genuine hope for the second half. For the first time in a while, we’re truly excited to see more.
What’s striking about watching The X-Files in 2018 is just how rejuvenated it feels. While it’s never going to hit the heights of the third or fourth season from the original series (which aired from 1993 to 2002), the 2018 iteration is a damn sight better than the 2016 one.

SEASON 11
Carter’s mythology for the series as a whole has never seemed more superfluous, and the episodes still linger too long on the confabulations of the paranoid. But even when stripped down to its bare bones, The X-Files has plenty to offer its audience. ... It’s not just the vivid backdrop [of the current world] that makes this season of The X-Files work, though. The episodes released for critics are just better episodes than the first time around.
It’s not peak, season three X-Files, because too much time has passed, too many stories have been told, and the world is too different from the one in which Mulder and Scully first partnered. But, the mythology episode aside, it’s much better than it has any business being, particularly given what we got two years ago.
We've come to expect the stand-alone episodes to represent The X-Files at it's most excellent, and that's the case in the first half of this 10-episode season. [8-21 Jan 2018, p.13]
The X-Files is back with a mix of convoluted mythology and more satisfying stand-alone stories.
Somehow, the series feels slightly more invigorated than its last return, but the same problems persist. Scully still feels like a secondary character in a Machiavellian game between men.
PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CRITICS AS ALL THEIR CRITIQUES HAVE BEEN BASED ON THE FIRST EPISODE AND NOT ON THE 7 EPISODES THAT HAVE AIRED SO FAR.
It is back and better than ever. Last season was a bit disappointing, but with only 6 episodes to redeem itself, there wasn't much to expect, but it has found its ground now and it is a very nostalgic feeling.
Mulder and Scully are terrific and the 7 episodes that have aired so far have not been disappointing. It's just a shame that it won't continue after this season. The most recent episode was enchanting and had a 'Black Mirror-esque' type of episode and it was executed perfectly. Highly recommended.

It it wasn't for the Goddess that is Gillian Anderson i wouldn't even bother. It has been turned into low budget, poorly written trash.

SEASON 11
Sorry, but warming over the '90s version of this series isn't going to get it. It should've been a full blown reboot that devoted itself to the alien colonization plot. But instead, they're using the same, tired recipe from 25 yrs ago because that's such a well worn path to success - not. Both Gillian and David look old and tired, they don't have the same youthful exuberant look or energy. They should've been fully replaced, too. I would've said all this ahead of time but everyone would've said "give it a chance, watch then judge." Well, did and my opinion has been validated. It'll limp by with a 5-share rating and hopefully be retired, but Carter may have gotten a guaranteed second season, much like MacFarlane obviously had for his "Orville". Sidebar: network tv is in real trouble with their pathetic show ideas. Streamers like Amazon/Netflix/Hulu along with HBO/SHO/Epix are shaming them with FAR SUPERIOR original programming.
