    I like spooky stuff and cryptids w.e, but the X-Files just didn’t do it for me.

    That being said I did try to watch it like two decades after it aired so maybe the cultural shift was already enough to disinterest me.

      I think a lot of scary shows and movies have aged that way. We’re so desensitized now.

      I remember people being legitimately spooked by the X-files back in the day.

        Oh I was 100% scared of it as a kid, but I didn’t “watch it” as much as hide behind a pillow when my parents were watching it

      It was a total plot tease that never gave up the goods. There are a handful of good standalone episodes but overall it falls flat.

        I think Supernatural is actually not that bad before it turns into a chick flick.

        I think S1 is pretty solid.

        I’m not sure about the rest. Growing up I would watch it because my sister watched it but it never really connected with me.

      cultural shift

      They didn’t even have mobile phones for the first season or two. There were all these godawful scenes wherein the only point was to put them in the vicinity of a landline to eventually move the plot forward.
