The X-Files: Agua Mala (1999)
Season 6, Episode 13
7/10
Different, but appealing.
17 September 2022
Mulder and Scully arrive in Florida, after receiving a message from X Files Creator Arthur Dales, who's concerned about the disappearance of a young family.

Agua Mala (Spanish for Bad Weather,) comes as something of a real change in pace, after the relatively heavy storylines of series 5 and 6, this one's lighter, pretty much a Monster of The Week episode.

If you're a Doctor Who fan, you may understand when I say, that this have me vibes of Fury from The Deep, essentially a base under siege storyline, where The Doctor and co battle the seaweed monster, defeating it with noise, I would suggest there are a few similarities.

Some good visuals, the monster itself looks pretty grim, good special effects again. Some nice touches of humour throughout.

I thought Darren McGavin was excellent here as Dales, his character appealed to me back in Travelers, and does so once again.

I quite enjoyed this one, 7/10.
