Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
The nuts and bolts of "Familiar" were decent. On the surface, this was a fairly dark, zero-sum tale about a cursed town and witchcraft gone wrong. Not only did two kids get killed, but two young kids. Yes, narratively, there is a weird and stark difference between dead kids based on age and children barely out of their toddler years being brutally killed is extra morose.
The X-Files has dealt with the supernatural in the past, but it's not exactly the show's bread and butter. The most we ever really see from this realm are some of the freaks and monsters Mulder and Scully chase down. It's more urban myths and folklore than magic. Then there are the paranormal aspects of the series: the ghosts and ghouls and vengeful spirits. Still, X-Files made its name with science-gone-wrong type tales that explored wayward experiments and/or unexplained mental powers/phenomenon.
