Duchovny's role is limited--and, by the way, he never takes his clothes off--but his character Jake is an archetype for the men in all these series. He appears in the beginning of each episode to read letters from women who have written to recount erotic tales; years ago, you see, Jake's fiance killed herself after a torturous affair with another man, leaving Jake with no choice but to spend the rest of his life soliciting dirty letters in an effort to unravel the female mind. The stories contained in his correspondence form the plot of each...
