I haven't like what I've seen - but I'm not the best judge of whether fans of the show would think it's off to a bad start. I don't think either the character is strong enough to carry as much airtime as she's been given. USA Today has always been kind to the X Files. It's by far one of the most entertaining shows on tv. My job is to think about a show, and then tell readers what I think, clearly, concisely, and one hopes in entertaining fashion.
Readers can then judge for themselves.
It seems as if each network has their own version of a particular show. Just different actors and they basically all look alike also. Well, here's something original. High concept spoofs like this can collapse quickly, but the pilot is very funny. But I've never been good at predicting the future, which is why, in general, I never bet.
