![]() ![]() But X-Files fans who like that little kernel of madness at the heart of its love story should be especially entertained by where AMC series takes Kim. The stunningly good Breaking Bad prequel (which has added meaning for fans of the original series but works on its own if you're new to the franchise) has plenty more to offer than that dynamic, including Jimmy's gutting quest for the approval of his older brother ( Michael McKean) and his slow spiral into the local cartel's orbit. Kim's relationship with corner-cutting lawyer Jimmy McGill ( Bob Odenkirk) often feels like a more mutually destructive version of Scully's partnership with Mulder: An intelligent, driven woman in a male-dominated field puts her career and life on the line out of loyalty to a rogue outsider who gives her an outlet for her own rebellious side. The best character on TV for most of Saul's six-season run, Kim is Scully's most worthy successor - which makes sense given that Better Call Saul was co-created by beloved X-Files alum Vince Gilligan. If you enjoy watching Dana Scully blow up her professional reputation for the sake of one man and his cause, meet Kim Wexler ( Rhea Seehorn). These are the shows you should check out next. Whether you watch The X-Files for the horror, the romance, the government conspiracies, or the reminder that the world is fundamentally chaotic and unknowable, this list has something for every kind of fan. Countless procedurals have been influenced by Mulder ( David Duchovny) and Scully's ( Gillian Anderson) opposites-attract partnership, and shades of The X-Files can be found in plenty of other TV dramas, too. And sure, the best X-Files episodes are so rewatchable it's almost supernatural, but there's no harm in shaking things up. Fox's sci-fi classic - which churned out over 200 episodes and two movies, beginning with its iconic run in the '90s and ending with a two-season revival in the 2010s - has serious staying power (so much so that original series creator Chris Carter says Ryan Coogler is working on a reboot). Searching the skies for more shows like The X-Files? You're not alone. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, The X-Files Fox ![]()
