It starts out a bit lighter in tone than X-Files, and gets darker as it goes on. I've described it recently as "the X-Files meets the X-Men" but it's not a horror series.
You can probably rent or netflix the first season easily and that should give you a sense as to if you'd like the show. It was a short 6 episode season with a lot of the flavor and pacing of a miniseries. As much as I hate telling people to start any show at the beginning, I wouldn't encourage picking it up in season four when that starts airing on USA. It started out as a mix of stand alone and arc episodes but it has become very arc driven.
