The only negative responses here were "its Black Mirror!" "its not the XFiles!". Thats because nothing about the actual content of the episode is bad.

From the cinematography, to the acting, this is my favorite episode of the 11th season.

Rm9sbG93ZXJz takes our worst fears and frustrations about technology and amps them up through the stratosphere!

Mulder and Scully find themselves under full, escalating attack by the technological tools that are supposed to make life easier. This, after a trip to a restaurant proves to be unsatisfying.

Imagine a melding of modern versions of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, NIGHT GALLERY, and THE OUTER LIMITS, infused with humor, and you get some idea of just how fun this episode truly is.

Having watched THE X-FILES since it began, I must say that this episode blew my mind! It's horror, sci-fi, and rib-tickling social satire that will have you howling while keeping a wary eye on the the modern advancements that you depend on.

Highly recommended...

Yes it's different, not the usual X-Files episode. I grew up with the 90's X-Files. Be open-minded. Don't discard the episode just because it's different.

Even with the lack of dialogue it's hilarious and really gives you something to think about. This is our future with everything getting more and more robotized.

The moral of the episode: Be a good person and perhaps our future robots, AI:s, Androids, Synths, Cyborgs or whatever we´ll call them, will be good to us.

I feel like a lot of people giving bad reviews didn't really understand the point of this episode. I don't think it was supposed to fit in at all with the normal story, because as other people have said a lot of it wouldn't make sense. Scully wouldn't live in a house like that, she would never use a driveless car (why wouldn't Mulder drive her home since he has his own car there), and they would never go to an automated restaurant like that. I think it's best to view it as a stand alone episode that doesn't make much sense (as a lot of x files episodes don't) but that is (in my opinion) highly entertaining. I thought it was hilarious watching a rogue Roomba and dozens of drones chase Mulder and Scully around. Of course it sends a message about our use of technology today, but really I just thought it was a fun and quirky episode that people have misunderstood.
