though dated the series is well produced by the creator of the X Files, not as good but still worth a watch.

The show is easily accessible, darker than its cousin The X-Files but it's the departure of Chris Carter in season 2 that allows the show to bring some of the best hours in television. Up there with Jericho and Person of Interest and sadly sharing the same fate, grab hold of it if you see it and settle down to some outstanding entertainment

Frank Black (played by Lance Henrisksen) is the laconic, maverick FBI consultant with an ampathic gift which he uses in the service of profiling criminals based on evidence from crime scenes. Whilst overall, the series is excellent, it does vary in quality from season to season. The strongest season in terms of production, script quality and feasibility of plot being the first season. The second season suffers from Christ Carter's (the series creator) penchant for the ridiculous, making the odd episode, in my opinion, unwatchable. In fairness to Carter, I recall that control of the series may have been handed over to someone else who plays to the comic, self-satire and absurd rather than being faithful to the original spirit of that made the original concept believable and compelling. In any case, season 2 is perhaps the weakest of the three but still has some good episodes. Season 3, whist not as appealing as season 1, still has some freshness, with the introduction of some new characters. It does lack, however, the first season's mystique and quasi-psychic elements, as Frank Black's 'facility' is scripted well into the background. Overall, a fantastic, under-rated series that unfortunately only lasted three seasons. Like all good things that fail to have mass appeal, Millennium is a well-made crime series that focuses on the darker side of the criminal mind and will appeal more to the thinking viewer.Read full review
