But while The X-Files finds romance in that idea, on Better Call Saul it's as devastating as it is thrilling. Kim's relationship with corner-cutting lawyer Jimmy McGill ( Bob Odenkirk) often feels like a more mutually destructive version of Scully's partnership with Mulder: An intelligent, driven woman in a male-dominated field puts her career and life on the line out of loyalty to a rogue outsider who gives her an outlet for her own rebellious side. The best character on TV right now, Kim is Scully's most worthy successor - which makes sense given that Better Call Saul was co-created by beloved X-Files alum Vince Gilligan.
If you enjoy watching Dana Scully blow up her professional reputation for the sake of one man and his cause, meet Kim Wexler ( Rhea Seehorn). Rhea Seehorn and Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul Nicole Wilder/AMC/Sony Pictures Television Thematically, The Leftovers is like The X-Files it's just that it also has a lion sex cult. Like The X-Files, it's a show about how to come to terms with an unknowable world, and both shows reach the same conclusion: The only answer is to find someone else who understands. Some viewers have been turned off by the unrelentingly bleak first season, but The Leftovers starts from a place of raw anger and evolves into an expansive, surreal, quietly magical drama that extends grace to the messy ways people try to heal. The exquisite HBO drama, co-created by Lost's Damon Lindelof and author Tom Perrotta, is set in the dazed aftermath of the sudden vanishing of 2% of the world's population, a global unexplained phenomenon so incomprehensible it upends normal life.
The Leftovers elevates not getting any answers to an even higher art form. Even the cases that get solved can rarely be explained. There aren't a lot of answers on The X-Files. Justin Theroux and Carrie Coon, The Leftovers Ben King/HBO
