Perhaps more of a Miniseries. And the thing driving the plot would be not just the investigations but Mulders Struggle to rethink everything he belived in.
That’d work, 8-12 episodes of him on the rollercoaster, maybe even seeking therapy in the end. Scully babying him less and less as she gets more sick of his bullshit and stops pulling punches.
Plottwist in the finale: It turns out there really was a conspiracy after all. The alien Invasion happens unopposed while Scully is just annoyed and Mulder sits at home depressed and confused.
