A completely standalone episode which really should be set in a different time, but nonetheless it is very well done. Tongue in cheek, but still thought provoking and absorbing. I might have to rethink my tipping policy.

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

Is more like Black Mirror episode rather from X-files.

That probably why for X-files fans it might be not so interesting but by itself it fantastic. Writers did good job on showing us how fragile current tech ecosystem and how much should be improved before technology could be used without struggle. Even story-line of episode has some issues anyway it looks like something that might happen in real life.

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.

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...
