While one season of The X-Filesisn't beloved, there are many reasons why it's better than people think. The X-Files premiered on Fox in 1993 and, in the decades since, we still love its infamous monster-of-the-week episodes and smart, likable main characters. Now that The X-Files is streaming for free on Pluto, it's a great time to revisit the sci-fi show's underrated episodes and feel creeped out all over again by villains like Tooms (Doug Hutchison).
