    How about a reboot where Mulder gradually loses his grip on reality and slides deeper into paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions. A tragic story where Scully is forced to helplessly watch as her partner fades away.

      No, he doesn’t just fade away, slowly converts from a protagonist to an antagonist. At first, everything is naturally explainable. He slowly grows increasingly agitated with that. Is the series progresses, a few paranormal, unexplainable things start to happen. Evidence, proving natural causes slowly wanes. Scully starts to suspect. Occasionally finds a small piece of evidence that is not quite where it should be. Suspicion grows over the run of the show, eventually they end up on the trail of an ever elusive criminal mastermind.

      It’s Mulder. He goes whole ham evil and it’s up to her to stop him.
