Those unfamiliar with The X-Files often view all the fuss with the same skepticism with which Scully first regards her new partner's ideas. But just as she comes to realize the uncanny accuracy of Mulder's outlandish theories, newcomers to The X-Files who sample a few episodes in this boxed set will likely find themselves riveted to their television late into the night. And undoubtedly, the shadows and creaking noises in the house that evening will seem more menacing than usual. --Eugene Wei

Customer Reviews of The X-Files - The Complete First Season (Slim Set)
Season one is just a warm-up...but still may be considered required viewing. I wasn't blown away by the X-files when it debuted in 1993, but I did see its potential. And all these years later it is still a little fun to see how it all began. <
> However I don't think it really took off until the second and third seasons. In a way, it has become required viewing to see how Mulder and Scully met, and there are half a dozen episodes out of the 24 that I think are quite good. <
> My favorite episode from season one? Darkness Falls, one of the many variations on "The Thing" that The X-files did. Mulder and Scully investigate the disappearances of an entire camp of loggers. Mulder says: "That's a lot of flannel to choke down, even for Bigfoot." I won't reveal much more except to say that their disappearance wasn't due to eco-terrorists but something they unintentionally stirred up in the forest. <
> The X-files is something that, if you love unconventional sci-fi with interesting creatures, you HAVE to appretiate, even in this developing phase that is the first season. <
> But the REALLY good stuff (the Fluke Man, Scully's abduction, and Jose Chung's From Outer Space) come after this warm-up, as interesting as it is for a starting point.
gotta love this show
Is this not one of the best shows ever made. The first season was a bit dry starting out, but once the chemistry really kicked in it was magic.
Great beginning to a ground-breaking series!
The X-Files is one of the best TV series centering around the paranormal/bizarre/UFOs/conspiracy theories out there. The pairing of skeptic Agent Dana Scully [Gillian Andersen] together with Agent Fox "I Want to Believe" Mulder [David Duchovny] makes one of the best pairings in TV history.

<
>The First season makes for a great introduction to the show, and there are some amazing episodes. Some of my favorites are:
<
>
<
>1.Pilot - Scully is assigned to work with Mulder, she looks for the rational & logical, he is open minded to all possibilities, both in the realm of the real and unreal. Their first assignment takes them to rural Oregon, where they investigate the strange deaths of high school students, which Mulder believes is tied in to alien abduction.
<
>
<
>3. Squeeze - one of my all-time favorite X-files episode. Scully enjoins Mulder to help her friend's investigation of a bizarre murder. Mulder finds a striking similarity between the present crime and one committed thirty years ago, by the same suspect. The suspect turns out to be a genetic mutant that needs a certain kind of nourishment to regenerate itself.
<

<
>11. Eve - Mulder & Scully investigate the strange deaths of two men, apparently unrelated, but then find that both men have identical eight-year-old daughters who seem 'innocent' enough.
<
>
<
>14. Genderbender - the agents investigate the murders where the perp seems to be both male & female. The trail leads to a rural Massachusetts town where a group called the Kindred seem to be involved.
<
>
<
>18. Miracle Man - the agents investigate a series of deaths that seems linked to Samuel, a faith healer.
<
>
<
>21. Tooms - the genetic mutant, Eugene Tooms is released, and Mulder takes it upon himself to see that he doesn't get away or commit another murder.
<
>
<
>23. Roland - murders among a group of scientists that seem to implicate a certain retarded janitor.
<
>
<
>I loved most of the episodes but the above were some of my personal favorites. The quality of this show is excellent on all fronts, and makes for compelling, thought-provoking viewing.
