    Hi,

    Are there other shows that a true X-Files fan would enjoy? I tried Fringe
    and The Outer Limits, but it's just not the same, they didn't pull me in
    the way X-Files did. Anything else?

    For me, the innovative element that made 'The X-Files' unique was the underlying mythology plot continuum (the conspiracy) and the complex
    twisting transitional sub-plots (sexual tension between Mulder and Scully; Scully's abduction; Cigarette Smoking Man; The Lone Gunmen involvement; Skinner's ambiguousness... etc.).

    NBC's 'The Black List' follows a similar formula... due in large part to
    the strength of the character development. It's nail-biting action and
    drama series with unexpected and interesting plot twists... which are still unfolding. Worth a look.

    I also see similarities in some of the cable networks' limited series, such
    as 'Rouge', 'Deep State', the 'Strike Back' franchise, and 'Berlin
    Station'... without the science fiction theme.

    If you don't subscribe to certain cable or video services, many of these
    can be obtained on IRC channels... but that's a whole 'nother conversation.

    Hope this helps. Good luck.

    I've been watching 'Dark' on Netflix and I think it's pretty good. It's German,
    so subtitles are the go. Even has some obscure X-Files references eg 10:13

    cheers
