Some episodes were more focused on the main story arc, while others were self-contained stories. and became a cult phenomenon.

Fox Mulder, played by the talented David Duchovny, was an agent obsessed with the paranormal and the unexplained. His quest for truth and evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life has made him a legendary character.

It was one of my favourite series for the first 4 seasons, then I found the scripts became less and less interesting.

The series loses strength in its later seasons, but the paranormal cases still interesting in my opinion. Maybe it should have ended when Mulder's sister plot was resolved. Anyway, nice review.
