I have to make this comment in all x-files series digital version threads: THE BLACK LEVELS ARE REALLY BAD.
The current digital copy for streaming (original series, not the 2 recent ones) has really poor black levels, terrible color gradation, and tons of macro blocking. There is very little shadow detail, so dark scenes often end up a black/gray macroblocking mess.
For anyone who really wants to go back and watch x-files, I highly recommend the various bluray sets available (9, 10, or 11 season sets). They go on sale a few times a year really cheap on amazon uk or amazon canada
It's one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
Edit
At this price may have to buy anyway, although iTunes is the Bermuda Triangle of content providers for me. I will probably totally forget that I've purchased this in a few years.
