8 1990s Sci-Fi Shows That Are Better Than ‘The X-Files’
When The X-Files premiered in 1993, it rapidly became the most representative science fiction series of the 1990s, known for its mix of conspiracy theories, suspense, standalone monster episodes, and the memorable duo at its heart. However, being popular doesn’t automatically mean something is the best, and while The X-Files is certainly a good show, several other series from that era arguably took more risks with the genre, have held up better over time, or offered more focused and well-structured narratives.

![Standard decomposition of uncertainty falters because methods attempting to derive both aleatoric-reflecting ambiguity in the true probability [latex]p^<i> [/latex]-and epistemic uncertainty-measuring deviation from [latex]p^</i> [/latex]-produce correlated estimates trapped along a diagonal, a limitation which a structurally separated Credal CBM approach successfully circumvents by recovering the inherent geometric independence of these properties.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.11219v1/x1.png)
