The special efx haven’t gotten more expensive, cameras haven’t risen in price, writers don’t seem to be demanding particular high prices, netflix takes anything that you can pitch without saying the word disney.

So what in the world happened? X-files was an amazing show and watching it you are not only entertained but you care about mulder and scully. The show is genuinely a great time. Why did they stop making them like this?

    The idea is to have you itching for the next fix. More money that way, you don’t cancel subscriptions, etc.

    • Sure… If they did 1 episode a week. But when they dump the entire season in one day, I can just watch the whole thing over a weekend and cancel my subscription until the next season.

        Oh, wow… I’m really out of touch with how shows are “aired” nowadays.

        Whelp, better go back to the cave, have no intention of getting back on that saddle.

          It’s mostly Netflix that dumps it all at once.

          HBO, Apple TV and Prime still usually do staggered releases.
