The X Files: My Struggle II (2016)
It's hanging on a thread..
The ending of the 6 episode season picks up the new storyline that was introduced in the first episode. Although it has the downsides we've read in other reviews with the introduction of the new FBI agents Miller and Einstein who are not very believable characters so far and who make us fear they are put as replacements, they do add to the story in this episode. Also the 'Youtube' conspiracy video network is a bit too far stretched and is like a version of the Alex Jones show. However it does a good job of picking up on the conspiracy theories we've come to hear in recent years, with the elites wanting to reduce the world's population. I think it's clever the X-files picks up on this and makes it's own version of this elites' plan with the cigarette smoking man as the logical man behind all this. The cliffhanger leaves us with the hope of a continuation of this story. I think this episode deals with current affairs in a clever way although it still lacks a bit the feel of the old seasons. I hope they can bring this back more in a new and longer season where there would be less need to put too much storyline in a few episodes. It looks though like Scully and/or Mulder might get abducted once again in the cliffhanger, so I do hope that Carter doesn't replace them with the new agents in a new season!
