[Series Review] The Lone Gunman

I know I'm coming a little late to the party, but I just watched the series The Loan Gunmen.

The Good:
  • The central characters are true to their delightful X-Files selves throughout the 13 episodes.
  • The 45 minutes are well-paced.
  • The conspiracy theories are unexpected and fun.
  • There are only 13 episodes, which are both necessary and sufficient for a Lone Gunmen story.
  • A few X-Files cameos (Mulder, Skinner, and Morris Fletcher) make the end extra nice.
 The Bad:
  • The axillary characters don't really come into their own until the end of the series.
  • The writing is not particularly clever.
The conclusion:
 It was good background while organizing some old papers and filing.  I would probably not sit down and watch it like a West Wing or the X-Files, themselves, but this was definitely enjoyable.
