What to Know

Critics Consensus

Arguably noble intentions notwithstanding, "My Struggle II" serves as a disappointingly sloppy conclusion to The X-Files' long-awaited revival -- and a painfully persuasive argument that the show was better left "out there."

Alan Sepinwall HitFix Feb 24, 2016
Chris Carter is responsible for so much that made The X-Files an all-time classic. Chris Carter should also never write or direct another episode of the show, assuming the actors agree to return for another abbreviated season. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox Feb 24, 2016
The season premiere and finale both attempted to reinvent The X-Files' alien conspiracy and only revealed how threadbare that whole story had become. Go to Full Review Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly Feb 23, 2016
"My Struggle II" disappointed with a story that focused on the show's underdeveloped and unappealing new formulation of the alien conspiracy, a storytelling structure that kept Mulder and Scully apart for the entire episode and a cliffhanger nobody wanted Go to Full Review Ryan Gibbs The Young Folks Feb 26, 2016
3/10
"My Struggle II" is bewildering television. It tells a story it simply did not have the time to finish, and will frustratingly rely on a renewal from FOX to complete. Go to Full Review J.M. Suarez PopMatters Feb 25, 2016
5/5
Unfortunately, the episode often feels more silly than serious, and is further proof that the show's larger mythology has only managed to bog the series down with its self-importance. Go to Full Review Patrick Cooley Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 24, 2016
Now the X-Files is finished - for now - and Monday night's finale was just as unsatisfying as always. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
