When we see them again, Mulder (Duchovny) and Scully (Anderson) have both moved on from their former jobs and each other's lives - she is a surgeon, and he is a recluse - but soon enough, they're brought back into that alien-seeking life. That isn't new either! And it will happen this time for only six episodes, which is many fewer hours than the nonsense the show devolved into for a whole bunch of its nine seasons. The other thing that's happening is it makes absolutely no sense.
There are two things happening here, and, luckily, they can happen at once: The X-Files, one of the most daring, influential television shows of all time, is coming back with Chris Carter, its creator two leads, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny and other original cast members. (As my colleague in London, Scott Bryan, has put it, London Spy is also confusing: worth it, though.) BBC America has a lot of good stuff in 2016, including another thriller, Undercover (spring), Thirteen, a mystery about a long-time victim of kidnapping who is finally freed (also spring), and the supernatural The Living and the Dead (summer). By the time Charlotte Rampling showed up in a key role, I was an addict. (Who happens to be hot.) They fall in love, but when I tell you that the title gives away one of Alex's secrets, you can't be mad - because it's the title! Danny gets involved in a nightmare, but he refuses to give up trying to find out the truth (nor will his connected friend Scottie, played by a humane Jim Broadbent). Ben Whishaw plays Danny, a cute, but getting just a little bit older, gay man who has grown tired of his own partying - just in time to meet Alex (Edward Holcroft), a quiet, rich, closeted virgin. In its five parts, Tom Rob Smith's London Spy combines a twisting, layered mystery a doomed romance a close character study and a highly stylized, meticulous production.
