A new X-Files series from filmmaker Ryan Coogler has been picked up at Hulu, and some fans are already weighing in on what they want. One recurring sentiment: drop the conspiracy and mythology arcs entirely and make every episode a standalone monster-of-the-week story, arguing real-world events have overtaken fictional government plots.
Why now: News of the reboot's series pickup has fans debating whether to keep the show's mythology arcs or go all-in on standalone episodes.
