It's so good; you don't need hours of it to get the hit. I watched the first episode a month ago. There's barely any plot and the special effects are basically some lights in the woods at night. But Duchovny and Anderson make every scene count, and everything seems mysterious and threatening.
Particia Lockwood - @tricialockwood.bsky.social - wrote a fabulous piece on eventually bingeing it too ... and talks about the metamorphosis of Scully when Gillian Anderson disappears to have a baby.
