This was the networks’ goal when choosing programming. Essentially, the casual viewer could tune in and more or less know what is going on and enjoy the action.

The X-Files pioneered a sophisticated approach of episodic storytelling, requiring viewers to follow complex plots and character journeys from week to week. Reason 1: The X-Files is a groundbreaking show that changed the way we watch TV. The answer is a resounding “yes”!
