There are probably quite a few people in the UK who were fans of both The Outer Limits and The X Files, simply because they were shown in the same slot at different parts of the year. True fact.
That one episode with a newly elected president and an approaching alien race is one of the most compelling pieces of TV drama I've ever seen. Hmmm, you've made me want to see it again now... VCD hunting time.
Anyway, if we're cheating and including TV series now:
Six Feet Under S5 - approaching the end now, it's just as
as usual. I assume series 5 is the final one, as it erm... pretty much seems to have run its course! It's been an excellent series and I've really enjoyed its soapy twists and turns. I don't know how well-received it was in the US (no bugger watched it over here), so I hope HBO have the courage to do something equally high quality.
