It's taken me years to watch this entire series from start to finish. Watching the first five seasons of the show as it originally aired was one of the best television experiences I can recall. The continuing storyline (the "mythology") held my interest back then, but after the film "Fight the Future", I never continued watching.
I purchased the entire series on Blu-ray a few years ago and have finally made my way through it all. The mythology half of the series finished as a complete mess, and it's really too bad because this show's fun, anthology, "monster-of-the-week" episodes are what made the series great.
I'm giving this a "10" despite the sloppiness of the mythology. There are many episodes of "The X-Files" that are truly great and are among the finest episodes of TV ever. Its influence is unquestionable. I'll probably never re-watch the entire series again, but will definitely revisit many of the episodes that made the series great.
