X-Files is kinda shit after Mulder is replaced by Dogget.
I think Doggett was in a handful of good Monster-of-The-Week episodes, but at that point the the series had gotten way too dumb that Mulder couldn’t have really made it much better. I think the series was way too in love with its own mythology, which was, frankly, pretty mediocre. The mytharc had become so diluted and silly that I just can’t watch most of those episodes anymore, even before it got bad
Dogget at least has some character development, doesn't hold a candle to Mulder though and definitely not saying he's a good character, but what really got me was the Agent NoPersonality, Monica Reyes. (I had to look up her name) She doesn't do anything, she doesn't have any kind of development, she doesn't add anything and she's just so boring and cookiecutter. No chemistry with Dogget either. I had actually forgotten she exists until I rewatched the entire series recently.
The only good scene with her was Scully teaching her to run in heels.
I have been a huge X-Files fan since the show was first released and I still have not seen the last few Dogget episodes because I just can't.
X-Files was kinda shit LONG before Dogget comes into the picture.
When it actually happened, I stopped watching it. Never seen bothered with an ep after that.
