X-Files
I guess I'm the outlier because I'm loving the show. I have not watched the last 2 shows but so far so good.
However, I will admit the first episode seemed rushed and probably needed to be at least 90 minutes. More time could have been spent on Skinner, Smoking Man and the intervening past.
Episode 2 was a clear monster of the week
Episode 3 was one of their humorous monster of the week episodes
Episode 4 was a kind of monster of the week but was really about dealing with decisions made a long time in the past
Episode 3 and 4 were interesting to me because they dealt with prior personal issues from the prior series, that were not resolved. Admittedly Carter did not go too deeply in that direction and IMO, that was a mistake. The X-files was just as much about the relationship between Mulder and Scully as it was the monster of the week or the series mythology. It's hard to understand why Carter held back when he might not get another chance.
Episode 2, while entertaining was a waste of an episode in a six episode series. Overall this series needed a story arc. It didn't have to be grand space opera, it could have been something as simple as dealing with Homeland security bureaucracy.
Still, I'm enjoying the series thus far, and yippeeee, I still have two more to go . . .
