      Audience Reviews for The X-Files: Season 11

      • Nov 12, 2022
        You know what the best part about the mythology episodes was? Seeing Reddit throw a hissy fit over the controversial twists and how they're structured more like 24 than The X-Files (fitting considering that 24 pretty much stole The X-Files' thunder back in the early 2000's; 9/11 made damn sure of that; and the BTS features confirm that Fox's former biggest non-Simpsons cash cow was revived because of 24: Live Another Day being a ratings hit). After all, it's pretty clear the mythology has meant diddly squat since S6. At the very least, the de facto series finale ended on a slightly better note than S9. It doesn't feel like much of a cliffhanger to me especially since the MOTW episodes tended to mostly end on ignored sequel hooks. Probably set up a spin-off: Son of The X-Files or some such nonsensical title. The MOTW episodes though? They're a ton of fun and do a great job hearkening back to the glory days. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson's chemistry remains great, it knows when to be funny and when to be serious, does a better job with Skinner than the previous season and demonstrate that even after all these years, the people involved still have a few ideas left in there (I did like the mostly dialogue-free episode; the second-best piece of media released in 2018 about people being quiet I've seen). Shame that Mulder and Scully's mini-mes just vanished into thin air; though I suppose the writers didn't want to risk another "Doggett and Reyes" (they certainly didn't get ingrained into the pop culture consciousness, have they now?). All in all, the episodes sandwiched in between the first and last one are fun but the character's Struggles have left something to be desired. Think we'll get a third movie one day? Gillian Anderson might have expressed reluctance to do S12 but she said nothing about a third film. So let them finish The X-Files once and for all, Disney!

        Thanks again for another great season!
      • Apr 28, 2021
        While it might not sit right with hardcore fans, THE X-FILES return is a much-needed comeback and finally gave an ending that further proved our purpose for believing.

        While both season 10 and 11 may as well have been put together, this one still stands out as nostalgically wow and remarkably relevant - I love it!

        Third-wave feminists taint another franchise.
      • Oct 19, 2019
        The last season keeps the original x files style.. which I am a fan of.. just the last episode.. maybe need to give too many characters a closure.. it feels like a rush ... so the main line is not developed thoroughly.. maybe made it into two parts is bit better.. like season 10's ending... thank you for brining the old Memory back 🦖🦖

        Some of the plot lines were a little bumpy, but at least there was a decent ending
