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?
Might be that it is hard to make good art.
And even the X Files got bad after about 5 seasons.
It’s also not like good stuff has stopped being made. And back then there was also plenty of bad stuff. You just remember the good shows.
