Daring X Files Vol. 9

Six years after the original series concluded, FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are drawn back into investigating a series of unexplained disappearances. They encounter a psychic peddler who claims to have visions of the victims, leading them into a morally ambiguous investigation that tests their faith in the paranormal and each other. The case forces them to confront their personal demons and the blurry line between science and the supernatural.

Google audience: Audiences were divided, with many appreciating the return of Mulder and Scully but feeling the story was uninspired and lacked the suspense of the original series.
