Every time an episode starts out with a blatant stupidity, such as a cop saying that they've taken all different kinds of physical evidence - except fingerprints, in case the agents want to collect "more" evidence... Nothing could be stupider. My estimation of an episode plummets immediately thereafter, and I have very rarely found reason to adjust it upwards.
Frankly, this is a show created by and for the embarrassingly credulous. If it weren't for watching a young Gillian Anderson, I could not find any reason to even have it on in the background and then not even always. Every aspect of this show is intellectually contemptible, which doesn't mean you have to be an "intellectual" to despise it - you just have to have a mind and at least a modicum of reason.
Hell, my local OTA channel rerunning the series just committed suicide - turn to that channel and everything starts fading to black. Died of shame, that's my guess.
