The X-Files, created by Chris Carter for Fox, is one of the defining television series of the 1990s — a paranoid, atmospheric conspiracy thriller about FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully investigating unexplained phenomena. The show pioneered the mythology arc format (a recurring conspiracy storyline interwoven with standalone monster-of-the-week episodes) that became the template for subsequent genre television. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson's chemistry — and the show's central tension between Mulder's faith and Scully's skepticism — made it a cultural phenomenon that influenced everything from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Lost. 'The truth is out there' entered the permanent vocabulary of American popular culture.
