If you enjoy The X-Files, you really should check out Millennium, by the same creator (Chris Carter) and broadcast at roughly the same time.

It's very intense, with an Emmy-deserving performance by star Lance Henriksen (whom you may remember from the movie Aliens). It mixes Christian theology and eschatology, mythology, horror, and serial killers, leavened with delightful humour.

The first season is mostly "serial killer of the week", but is important to establish the characters and long-running story arcs.

The second season is a delight, with some of the best writing of any TV show I know, and a lot of complex situations with no easy answers.

The third season changed (and cheapened) everything, and is only worth watching for completists.
