If someone were to come up to me and ask me: "What can you tell me about the TV series Millennium?" I could go on forever.
One of the nice effects about the series is that the overall dark plot of the series revolved around the end of the world coming in the year 2000. And it was produced before the year 2000. So the affect of making people wonder and turning heads worked well.
Firstly, I loved the dark atmostphere that is employed in the series. You had your conspiracy episodes revolving around the Millennium Group, who and what they are. There was so many questions going around and so many strange and painful events. The discovery of the Crucifixion cross, The Marbug Virus and the Prions, the death of Catherine Black, children being killed and going missing, the strange and undying evil of Lucy Butler. Oh my god....
Chris Carter started a legend with The X Files which I used to watch religiously, but then he went a step up and did something even better than X Files. Millennium.
I watch all three of the series's all the time, and always put it on when I am writing or just in general. I never get bored of "Owls" and "Roosters" - the two part myth arc where the Millennium Group was split right down the middle when the cross of the Crucifixion was discovered and a battle for its possession soon began. Part of the reason is that the same dark music used from the two episodes "Patient X" and "The Red and the Black" from The X Files (5th season) were used as well. And that was the other nice thing. The same creator - two different series and you can find the same music in and around parts.
Another huge aspect I love about Millennium is the Family story within it as well. Frank and his daughter, Jordan. I love that despite everything that had happened to him, Frank was still there for his little girl. And in the third series episode "Borrowed Time", I nearly cried at all the emotions displayed and felt so sorry for Frank - a single father going through the possibility that he was close to losing his daughter (and he had already lost his wife). The family aspect is amazing and heart-warming to see. Lance Henriksen and Brittany Tiplady did some fantastic acting and performances.
Millennium is an experience that NO fiction, horror and thriller fan should EVER go without. It is a pity that no films have been made based on the series...
