DO NOT WATCH EPISODES 10-15. I BEG YOU.

To echo what everyone else here is saying, the show started out as a fun X-Files parody, but for some reason (show-runner change, studio interference, whatever) it turns into a borderline unwatchable ripoff of The Office. The plot is thrown out the window, new characters are introduced, and it's so depressing I had to stop to take a brake midway through some of the episodes (they're 231 minutes!). Even if you're a die-hard fan of shows like The Office and Parks & Rec, I can't stress enough how embarrassingly-bad these episodes are.

But then, miraculously, the last episode picks up where episode 9 left off, ignoring every (seriously, everything) that happens in 10-15. I assume, since the show ended, that they wanted to bookend it on streaming, but I'm baffled nonetheless.

It's a fun show, but ONLY if you skip 10-15. Do. Not. Watch. Them.

1-9, then 16.

You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.

1 star with the included episodes. 1.

I'm begging you.
