I had the privilege to watch "Beyond the Sea" in a movie theater, introduced by Chris Carter himself. And this is no coincidence that this episode was hand-picked by Chris Carter, as this is one of the best episodes of the entire series.

GILLIAN ANDERSON
Gillian Anderson gives a wonderful performance and simply shines. For the first time, this excellent script lets her reveals her true potential as an actress.

BRAD DOURIF
Of course, most of the episode is based on Brad Dourif, that is providing a cinema performance. We are far from the boundaries of television here.

DIRECTING
Finally, David Nutter directed this episode beautifully. And this is not a surprise, after directing the classic "Ice".

SUMMARY
For all these reasons, I give the episode a 10 out of 10. "Beyond the Sea" is a classic masterpiece.
