X-Files Watch List: Seasons 1 and 2

I love the X-Files and I think the whole series is worth watching. I understand this is a big commitment because there are nine full seasons, two feature films, and a six-episode 10th season that just aired (to mixed reviews) (but still, worth it).

If you are interested or feel just the tiniest bit curious, please start watching the X-Files today. I've made it so simple for you by embarking on a selfless project.

I have undertaken the re-watching of every episode of the X-Files in order to create a must-watch list for you. Seasons 1 and 2 have a couple dozen episodes each, so I understand that it's overwhelming. But what do you say to ten or twelve episodes per season? You say: "THAT I can do."

And you can.

And you should.

You'll be so glad you did.

All of the X-Files are available on Netflix. I've picked out the essential "mythology" episodes and only the most quintessential "stand-alone" (or "monster-of-the-week") episodes. You can watch more if you want, but you must watch the the ones on my must-watch list. That's how it works, see.  I'm so excited for you. Let me know when you're done. I'll wait.
