‘The X-Files’
With a new season of The X-Files airing, now is a great time to remember what made the spooky show so spectacular back in the ’90s. The show proved to be unpredictable from week to week, with installments alternating between terrifying (the incest horror of “Home”), hilarious (the kooky Rashomon-esque “Bad Blood”), and… just weird (the unnerving lunacy of “The Post-Modern Prometheus”). But honestly most of the show’s appeal was–and remains to be–the chemistry between Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, chemistry that led an entire segment of fans to dub Season 7 the Season of Secret Sex.
