3.0 out of 5 stars
Strange series, lacking the X-files finesse,
By tennunb "tennunb" (Kent, UK.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lone Gunmen - The Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
I recently purchased this series after months of keep picking it up in the local shop. I'm a big X-files fan so expected the same quality. Strangely after episode 2 i began thinking 'Why did i buy this again?". But in fairness i became more and more interested as it went on. Guest appearances from Mulder, Scully and Skinner aided the storylines enough to keep the X-file fans happy. Although it doesnt have the X-files finesse it delivers the lighter side of what X-files was trying to achieve. It was fun, very watchable and by the time i finished the boxset i was craving more.
If you buy it don't expect the X-files quality as it is very different but still good viewing.

Why did it have to end?,
By Eve (stoke on trent, staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lone Gunmen - The Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
Their missions aren't impossible...they just make them look that way.Sometimes you wonder just what a show has to do to last more than one season. I don't know who the people behind TLG ticked off to get the show cancelled but whatever happened it cost us fans dearly. The success of the lone gunmen characters in the X-Files suggested that a spin off would be a sure thing and ratings wise it was right up their with the early seasons of the X-Files..so ratings can't have been the reason to cut it short. For those that don't know The Lone Gunmen were recurring characters from the X-Files, socially inept paranoid geeky computer hackers on a mission to uncover the truth and publish it in their paper. Along the way they pick up a lumpy intern and a femme fatale who may or may not be on their side...you can keep your Dark Angel rip off. Yeah I know it sounds bad but the show was funny, weird and at times thought provoking, as already mentioned the pilot episode about terrorists crashing a plane in the WTC 6 months before it happened is downright creepy. My main complaint is how things end..not because it ends but there are far too many plot holes to be convincing, you'll see what I mean.

A Great Series Cut Short,

This review is from: The Lone Gunmen - The Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
When "The Lone Gunmen" was shown in the US it was a smash-hit. At the time "The X-files" was winding down and suffering from poor stories and this series was the best thing going but was cancelled after 1 season for being anti-government (something fox doesnt like given its close ties to the higher powers in the US).The pilot episode still gives me deja-vu, aired almost a year before 9/11, it's a hollywood "hero-saves-the-day" verison of the events that were repeated with disaterous results a year later - and the important "why-its-happeneing" speach makes you wonder if Bush saw this and then recreated it for the same reason - but thats another story. The series contines with some seriously powerful and hard-hitting stories that sends chills down my back.
