The show's middling execution hobbles this plodding drama, especially when Mulder is not around.
May 26, 2015
This one's worth a look, particularly for Duchovny fans or those fascinated by the Manson family.
May 28, 2015
Aquarius is decently scripted for the most part while also immersing itself convincingly in the counter-culture of those times.
May 26, 2015
It's an unusual summer season offering, sometimes unsettling, but worth checking out.
May 27, 2015
How much of this is based on "fact" and how much is based on baloney? Never explained, but there appears to be enough of the latter to make a generous sandwich.
May 29, 2015
The series' use of the story is both exploitative and ineffectual.
May 22, 2015
Duchovny does a fine job of separating his role of Hodiak from some of his other, similarly structured characters.
May 28, 2015
Every time the show looks like it might wade into ambiguous territory, it snaps back to that dull morality: Manson is a bad man, Hodiak the hero who must hunt him down. It's hard to disagree, but it's also hard to really care.

I just finished Aquarius and boy, is my willing suspension of disbelief tired!
May 26, 2015
We'll leave it for the experts to decide how much Aquarius fudges the truth. As drama, it's gripping, disturbing, and rewarding.
