Dave C @RT09838700 Oct 18 Overall, this hits with sharper storytelling, character development that means something, and multiple story arcs that hold up to season-long writing, rather than being poorly tied-up after two episodes, as in the previous season. There is still work to be done, but I'm enjoying watching it a lot more than I was...

The first 7 series were defined by mostly great stories with two stars in David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson (yummy) who you could not take you eyes off. However, by series 8, the show was running out of steam, and suprising it lasted until series 11... the power of the shows fan base I guess.

Those begin seeping in with season 3, but 1 and 2 are pure problem-of-the-week, and highly enjoyable and uncomplicated as a result. Good mix of themes, ideas, and inspirations.

The acting is better, the production values are higher, secondary characters are fleshed out more, the new characters of Krycek, X and the Alien Bounty Hunter are memorable, there's a better balance between the two different types of episodes and the show isn't afraid to get into some darker topics that the first season was more reluctant to explore. While "Die Hand die Verletzt" is considered to be one of the darkest episodes once it drops its black comedy facade, personally I found "The Calusari" to be the darkest episode of the season with the Donnie Pfaster episode a very close second. I think it had to do with the opening scene giving me uncomfortable memories of Stephen King and Heavy Rain. Who'd have thought one pregnancy would change the entire course of the show back in its heyday? All in all, this is a very good second season that heavily improves on what was good about its preceding season and I look forward to seeing what later seasons have to offer.
