In other words, if you loved it then, you'll love it now. And they'll be satisfied - if not pleased - with the results of this intriguing six-episode "event." Mulder and Scully are older and wiser, not necessarily different but certainly changed by what they've seen, and the presence of some other familiar faces makes the show's decade-plus absence feel more, as creator Chris Carter has described, like "a 13-year commercial break." Two secondary characters get high in woods off of spray paint, clearly frowned upon and not directly portrayed.ĭie-hard fans have been waiting a long time for The X-Files to return to television. Also a discussion on transgender.ĭrugs: Iconic villain character constantly smokes. There is a brief visual reference to porn (non-graphic video is seen, no nudity) and in a fantasy sequence Scully seduces a man and begins to passionately kiss him. The third episode I believe is where it really gets edgy though. A hotel owner spies on Mulder sleeping in a speedo through peephole (again, for comic effect). Parody scene of country music video features suggestive dancing (not too bad though). In one episode a gay character thinks Mulder is flirting with him (meant for comical effect). As always, some romantic tension between Mulder and Scully. Sex/Nudity: A couple episodes are much edgier than the Common Sense Review would lead you to believe. Rare moderate language such as b*tch or d-bag. Language: Some mild language, such as damn, hell, crap. Some episodes are scary, the X-Files is horror after all, but not are really terrifying.

Brief moment of Strong violence in which a character has his head and arms ripped off by supernatural creature (bloody but no lingering sight on injury detail). Another shows a character commit suicide, by shoving a knife into ear (not very bloody but still cringe-inducing).

One episode features sight of bite marks on necks, not too bad. Some explosions, including one which was a terrorist attack. Violence/Scariness: Occasional bloodless gunshots with minimal injury detail.
