4.0 out of 5 stars So good it's hard to believe it was a TV show, May 16, 2000

I was certainly sorry when Fox cancelled Millennium, but on the other hand, it's damn near miraculous that a show this intelligent, original, challenging and disturbing made it on to TV at all, let alone managed to survive for three seasons. I give this tape only four stars because although the series got off to an excellent start it didn't really hit its stride until the last third of the first season, when elements of the supernatural started creeping (and creep is definitely the operative word here) into it, and Millennium slowly transformed into the absolute best horror/fantasy/sf series ever. Although it was always just as much a drama, too. Forget TV, I can't even think of very many films in the genre that can touch this program for subtlty and smarts. For instance, in the brilliant episode "Powers, Principalities, Thrones and Dominions," it becomes fairly apparent that one character is an angel and another is a man posessed by a demon, but nothing is ever explicitly indicated. Now, in pretty much any other show or film they'd hit you over the head with it. They'd probably have the demon-guy's eyes glow red when no one's looking or just have him outright state something that makes his identity unmistakable. They'd probably have the angel-guy sprout wings at some point. But Millennium was almost unique in the extent to which it always demonstrated unusual faith in the intelligence of its audience. And I'd like to add my voice to the chorus clamoring here for the release of the series on DVD, just in case anyone from Fox happens by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Millennium Review, March 8, 2000

By 

Jeremiah Norris (America) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Millenium:Pilot/Gehenna [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Millennium at it's best was a show that evoked fear, yet demonstrated the sometimes faint but always visible ray of hope. Exceptionally written and wonderfully acted, FOX dropped the ball with the show's cancelation. The dismal failure of Harsh Realm was gratifying to see, maybe FOX will now learn of the true gem it had in Millennium. Late night's, or anytime, I can't think of a better show to watch. Pilot\Gehenna is a wonderful introduction into the series, and worth the price. One of television's few true masterpieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning Series, April 24, 2000

Millennium was a fantastic TV show and terribly underrated. This video sets up the series perfectly, foreshadowing the depths of evil to come. As with The X Files, the production values were of a very high standard. I believe Fox made a mistake cancelling this series. I also (neilinoz!) dream of a day when we can get every episode on DVD.
