Released to tie in with the second season starting on Sky this season introduces us to dedicated FBI agent Olivia Dunham, conman Peter Bishop and his mad scientist father Walter Bishop (the shows scene-stealer).
While the show follows the X-Files original 'different unexplained thing happens each week they have to solve' there is a careful series arc that cleverly builds to one of the most barking mad and controversial closing shots of any season finale you are likely to see.
Some may feel it a bit contrived that Walter for some reason or another seems to have had something to do with nearly everything wierd that happens in the show however John Noble turns in such brilliant performaces over the season you'll let it slide especially as when the season ends you realise you've only seen the tip of the iceberg as to where the show is going and if a show can be this good when its just laying the ground work for future seasons, season 2 and hopefully beyond should be something special.
