I’ve heard a lot of high praise but it’s such a weird fucking show. It’s like as if Alex Jones made a TV show with all the cliche conspiracy theories.
I don’t know if I want to continue.

Honestly it’s a fun watch when I want to turn off my brain and see Mulder deal with something stupid (like there’s a Midwestern vampire episode that’s pretty awesome), the overall metaplot is fuckin’ weird though but I prefer it over Supernatural that just defaulted to Christian mythology
I gotta hand it to Supernatural though that they went super hard on christian mythology. Also I think anything else would’ve felt way out of place to culturally disrespectful since it’s basically US Midwest People: The Show.
Charming as they are, Sam and Dean shoot Buddha in the face or something would’ve felt wrong
Honestly I’ve always favored the “all the mythologies are true” type of new weird cosmology (i.e. it’s all true but humans are unable to fully grasp it) instead of how Supernatural had a lot of other culture’s deities as subservient (Kali having a fling with Michael and then most other Hindu gods getting punked on by Satan) or just outright beneath the main Christian styled antagonists. Good series though, especially with Sam and Dean being a great brother relationship captured on TV.
One quote that always stuck in my brain was having Odin make some quip about “I’m supposed to get eaten by a big wolf!”
And like come on dude thats your fated destiny in your mind, you cause so much bullshit trying to avoid that fate it shouldn’t be a joke to you! Just lazy and bad writing.
