What to Know

Critics Consensus

The return of Mulder and Scully is to be celebrated, but "My Struggle" struggles with balancing too much exposition against letting viewers spend time with their old friends.

Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly 02/04/2016
Count me among those disappointed by the opening hour of The X-Files revival, a clunky hour so burdened by service to so many goals it could hardly entertain the way The X-Files used to. Go to Full Review Kaly Soto New York Times 02/04/2016
Like Mulder, I want to believe, but with a messy new beginning like this, Chris Carter and crew are making it pretty hard. Go to Full Review Gwyneth Kelly The New Republic 02/04/2016
This X-Files tries to avoid the nostalgia trap by updating the quintessentially '90s story to today, but in doing so falls into a different trap: that of trying to fit a conspiracy story to the digital world. Go to Full Review Melissa Leon The Daily Beast 10/25/2016
While we have yet to see how the rest of this experimental season unfolds, "My Struggle" made us want to believe so badly. It was the X-Files in its finest form, a perfect distillation of everything that makes this show great. Go to Full Review Chris Cabin Collider 02/23/2016
2/5
There's no sense of the desperation, panic, or even possible good intentions that we're accustomed to on The X-Files. That the pilot of the series' tenth go-around is such a astounding misfire is startling and sad. Go to Full Review Mark Trammell TV Equals 02/04/2016
So, yeah, although the premiere might be a little wobbly- much like that flying saucer in the opening scene- there's every reason to hope that things will get better from here on out and that the truth is, indeed, still out there. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
