TNG pretty handily, and I liked X-Files, too.
DS9 over both by a healthy margin, though. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'd recommend TNG as the better binge. It gets better as it goes on and while the final season sags a bit it ultimately stops at the right time with an excellent finale.

I love X-Files, but TNG maintains steady quality for the most part after season 1. X-Files is all over the place.

X-Files gets too caught up in trying to be mysterious and ends up being a giant cluster fuck of nonsense. The best episodes were the ones that were just monster of the week and the more grounded plots like Agent Krychek.

I'd say TNG, and season 1 wasn't as bad as people say. Yes, it has some rough episodes like "Code of Honor" and even the pilot "Enounter at Farpoint" kinda sucks. But it also had "Datalore", "Where No One has Gone Before", "Conspiricy", and "Skin of Evil". Even "Code of Honor" isn't unwatchable, it just plays like an unused Star Trek TOS script with some of the same tropes. To be honest, I might enjoy Code of Honor more than ANY of the Lwaxana Troi episodes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

x-files is great, but it falls off in later seasons.
also check out twin peaks if you haven't seen it. It's short, like 3 seasons, so watch that instead of the later x-files seasons --- ? ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is a tough one cause they are both super comfy shows to watch. I'm currently in my first watch through of both. Nearly finished TNG and about 3/4th through X-Files. Gun to my head, I'd pick TNG.

One thing you're going to notice real quick while binging TNG is that there's a stock set of Enterprise shots that are used throughout the entire run. Each season adds maybe 1-2 shots to the repertoire.

Hated the mytharc of X-Files. Went on too long and felt disjointed. The standalone or MOTW episodes are the best part. Another show with a similar experience was Supernatural. The only thing I didn't like about TNG were the season finale cliffhanger episodes, when it initially aired. Not a problem now, though. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The problem with X-files mythos/lore episodes is they just aren't interesting. It reveals everything in a disjointed way, but when you piece everything together, it's kind of generic.
Many of the standalone epsodes outside of those are among some of the best sci-fi episodes made for TV, but again, TNG has more consistent quality throughout. --- ...I think I'm done here... ... Copied to Clipboard!

DS9 is like an alternate shitty TNG. Full soap opera, zero exploring new worlds / seeking new civilizations. It's the TV series equivalent of making a movie about Pirates of the Caribbean and then the whole thing takes place on land.
