Tier one- Seasons 2-4 (The prime of the series, but I don't know how I would order these three)

Tier two- Seasons 1, 5-6 (Season 5 maybe being the best of these three, but all these seasons are still excellent for different reasons)

Tier three- Season 8 (a season that both changes the show's dynamic and returns to early form, underrated by many because of a lack of Mulder)

Tier four- Seasons 7, 9, and 10 (there's bright spots in each, but they're far removed from the best of the show)

Can't rank s1 and s2 just yet since I haven't seen all of them just yet.

So, it seems that the general consensus is that season 10 (last year's season), was the worst?

Yeah, I don't think any of these seasons are really bad!

From what I've seen so far...

Season 5 (great)
Season 4 (very good)
Season 3 (very good)
Season 8 (good)
Season 6 (good)
Season 2 (generally good)
Season 1 (hit or miss)
Season 7 (yikes)

reply

For me, 3,4, and 6 are all tied for first.

Worst: The last two seasons

reply

Best to worst:

Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4 + Redux I & 2
Season 10*
Season 5 (the rest of them)
Season 6
Season 7
Season 8
Season 9

* Kinda hard to place, there aren't as many episodes which makes it a bit unfair to the other seasons perhaps. But I liked that they ditched the direction of the mainstory which got too silly somewhere during Season 5 & onwards. For that fact alone it deserves the place.
