It’s a bit more of a self parody than the original series, especially the 2nd episode.

Indeed, although I enjoyed the episode. What hits me more than the apparent tongue-in-cheek atmosphere of the show is how disturbing it is to see Mulder and Scully, visibly aged and much less energetic, doing EXACTLY the same thing they were twenty years ago. It's like seeing some old hippies from the sixties still wearing tie-dye and railing against the "man". It's sad. They really didn't achieve anything new in life in twenty years? Neither one of them moved up in the FBI hierarchy, or onto a new position somewhere else, or started up their own organization, or something? They're even in the same office with the same poster, for Pete's sake.

That said, I'll definitely watch every new episode.

That 2nd episode was laughable..........Eh, oh well, I'll keep watching.

Yeah. I wasn't that into it. Everybody seemed tired and it was like they had some private joke of their own all the time.

On the other hand, I might have liked it if they had more private jokes, like alluding to what the actors had actually been doing for the last twenty years: kids, divorces, Scully in Britain, Mulder as a sex addict, etc.
