Is your brain zapped from watching too much of your favorite FBI agents? We all know that
The X-Files was the best sci-fi show to hit television since
The Twilight Zone. However, you must admit that, despite the two movies and promised reboot, rewatching Scully and Mulder for the sixth, seventh, or twelfth time can be a bit exhausting. But we've got your back, and can tell you what to binge instead.

Being Human
If it's sci-fi you want, the original U.K.
Being Human is the way to go. With charming, disillusioned youths (well, two youths and a hundred-something year old vampire) just trying to live normally,
Being Human has the perfect blend of charm and melancholy, reminiscent of
The X-Files' biting wit and life lessons. Get bitten by
Being Human, and you're sure to be thirsty for more.

The Fall
The reason most people miss
The X-Files is because of the gorgeous camaraderie between Scully and Mulder. Well, there's not so much camaraderie in
The Fall, but there certainly is a bit of Scully. Starring Gillian Anderson as the razor sharp Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson,
The Fall doesn't have the science fiction elements that were so beloved by
The X-Files fans, but the danger and intrigue is sure to make up for a lack of aliens.

Warehouse 13
If charmingly cheesy is what you're looking to replace, then be sure to get swept up into
Warehouse 13. Much like
The X-Files, Warehouse 13 has occasionally fake-looking special effects, but that is all part of the experience. Secret Service Agents Pete Lattimer and Myka Bering make a fun pair as they search for missing supernatural items from a hidden warehouse in South Dakota--and really, how can you go wrong with mystery-solving buddies?
