The X-Files: Season 10

10x01 My Struggle

This is an okay return of the show that has been loved by many fans around the world. I noticed that the current alien myth-arc will definitely get political with the references to the government spying on us and shit.

I have a couple of complaints, one especially at the ending. They brought Smoking Cigarette Man back from the dead. They better have a good explanation why he is not dead anymore because I felt very insulted watching him alive again when we saw him dead, burnt alive, on-screen in the finale.

The good parts are that I am relived that this episode is already better than the awful second movie. But that isn't saying much to be honest. Also, I am glad we get to see Mulder and Scully again. They're the ones that make the show.

I am rating this a 7/10 because while it's entertaining, this episode is a bit silly and I fear the show might complicate their already hard to understand mythology. I hope the rest of the revival is better than this. We'll have to wait and see.

"The good parts are that I am relived that this episode is already better than the awful second movie. But that isn't saying much to be honest." I couldn't agree with you more. IWTB was awful and an insult to X-Files canon.
