Many of these “X-Files” rip-offs were designed as programming mates for the popular series, airing alongside Mulder and Scully on Friday nights. “VR.5” was one of them (but not the last). One of the executive producers of “VR.5” said they were trying to capture the same “feeling” of “The X-Files” but “VR.5” was considerably more bonkers. It followed a young hacker (Lori Singer) who found out she could enter into a virtual world, at which point anything was possible. And by “anything” I am of course referring to the confines of early-1990s network television visual effects. But hey, it was pretty fun.
