X-Files probably - it's not all aliens after all. Drive (S06E02) is a classic.

The physical implants in the show are a good metaphor for digital surveillance today.

Hell, if anything, X-Files tends to only really get into aliens when it's one of the plot episodes. A lot of regular episodes are weird paranormal phenomenon that could be more accurately attributed to ghosts/God/Satan or undiscovered/mutant species, sometimes bad or mysterious technology.
