Product Description
Product Description
A retired FBI profiler with the ability to see into the minds of killers joins the mysterious Millennium Group, a team of ex-law enforcement experts dedicated to fighting the ever-growing forces of evil. The complete first season of the TV series Millennium.
Amazon.com
Millennium marked the second major television series created by Chris Carter, who'd already made his name as the brains behind The X-Files. And, like its predecessor, it shares a lot of the same themes--it's a crime thriller that gradually unfolds into a grand conspiracy involving the government and the fate of the entire world.
Agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) is a former FBI agent who has transplanted his family from Washington, D.C. to Seattle, after suffering something of a breakdown. He's an expert criminal profiler--arguably the best, thanks to his ability to "see" into the minds of killers--and he fears for the safety of his wife and young daughter. In Seattle, he joins the mysterious Millennium Group, an agency of freelance crime-busters who investigate particularly brutal crimes. As a result, Millennium is downright bleak viewing, as Black jumps from horrific slaying to horrific slaying. Moreover, there's a growing sense of unease about the workings of the Millennium Group, so that in typical Chris Carter fashion, you don't know who to trust. With its pre-Y2K angst and overwhelming darkness, as well as its general humorlessness, Millennium hasn't dated as well as The X-Files. Still, thanks to Carter's vision and Henriksen's compelling take on the tortured Black, it's difficult not to get hooked. --Ted Kord

Millennium was that other great show Chris Carter did besides The X-Files.
Millennium aired from the fall of 1996 to the spring of 1999. Three seasons of the series were produced, a total of 67 individual episodes.
Frank Black was played by Lance Henriksen and his wife Catherine was played by Megan Gallagher around these two people an interesting tale of paranormal events and paranoid conspiracies was intricately woven, complexly knotted, and all focused and ready to take some unknowable form upon the coming of the year 2000.
"Paranoia is just a kind of awareness, and awareness is just a form of love." -- Charles Manson
For all three seasons we eagerly watched the adventures of Frank Black, a former FBI investigator, as the world tilted and twisted spinning closer and closer to the year 2000.
The first two seasons of this show were just beautiful though the second had several questionable miss-steps but kept it together as the pseudo mythology of conspiracies in the show were expanded on creating more and more darkness and paranoia and then came the last season which to summarize frankly tanked miserably.
As with other shows Chris Carter built he created a dark, deadly world and interesting, fragile and paranoid, edgy characters and after a while he lost interest and let other people kill the dang show by seriously messing up the story that was being told, with plot holes bigger than a bread box, and softening up the characters with cheap sentimentality, or out right killing off major pivotal characters.
Hmmm, sounds allot like the The X-Files does it not?
Poor Chris will he ever learn?
Between you and me the third season is only worth watching if you fall in love with the show during the first two. Otherwise although you can see them struggling to save the show let's just say the downward spiral had gone too far.
"Let us go in; the fog is rising." -- Emily Dickinson, her last words, 1886
Anyway Frank Black and Millennium never made it to the year 2000. Unless you saw that X-Files episode which I refuse to acknowledge.
The show for all concerned was promptly sent to the trash heap of cable programming on the FX channel and forgotten by the FOX big wigs.
That hateful ripoff Profiler seems to still be shown in reruns on TV. But we hate that blond bimbo, she is no Frank Black.
I could go on more about my own fascination with this show, how the thoughts spoken and the dark visions still linger with relevancy and echo with teeth rattling truth.
How the shadows in this show are much darker and meaningful because of what they are not showing than any special effects could have given us.
I will not tell you about the episode Beware Of Dog that used a Carpenters song Close To You as the sound track to a murder of an old couple in a Winnebago by a pack of vicious, demonically possessed, wild dogs. Nor will I tell you how that one twisted, messed up moment makes me laugh every damn time, Nope not one word, I promise.
Just buy this DVD collection of the first season and I promise you some good-scary-fun hours of pure joy.

Very few people understood what Millennium was about, but for its fans, it remains a very stirring drama. A lot of critics misrepresent Millennium as some kind of gloomy police drama, when the cases that Frank Black investigated during the course of season one were merely vehicles in which to explore the grayer shades of humanity.
Only about half of the twenty-two episodes during the first season were concerned with just serial killers--far less than critics like to think. Look closer and you'll see that episodes like the pilot, "Gehenna," "The Judge" and "Sacrament" had supernatural/apocalyptic elements to them, which make them far less mundane than some might initially think. ("Gehenna" even had visuals of a winged beast, or Legion as the fans dubbed him, descending from the sky.)
Regarding those other, say, eight or ten serial killer episodes, Millennium addressed the big questions: What made these men? What can society do to stop them? You won't hear the investigators on CSI or Law & Order ask these questions, unless in a glib, sarcastic way. Those programs are all about police procedure. To me, *that's* depressing. When Frank looked 'into the minds of killers,' he was trying to understand them, sometimes even sympathize with them. These killers weren't evil people. They were tragic people that did evil things--most were victims themselves. Millennium gave human faces to ghastly perpetrators. (I recommend Rick Smith's reviews for analyses of individual episodes: [...])
The latter season one episodes stray from the serial killer motifs. "Force Majeure" involves a man in an iron lung who preaches about a planetary alignment that will have cataclysmic consequences. "Walkabout" sheds light on Frank's past when he participates in a clinical trial for an experimental drug that might suppress his 'gift.' "Maranatha" takes Frank to the Russian district of New York in pursuit of Yaponchik, who may be the Antichrist. And then there's the stunning "Lamentation"/"Powers, Principalities, Thrones and Dominions" two-parter, in which devils and angels aren't merely a concept, but physically exist alongside Frank and his colleagues!
Millennium also isn't relentlessly gory or downbeat. Look at the endings of "The Well Worn Lock," "Powers," or especially "The Wild and the Innocent"--still one of the most uplifting hours of television I've seen to this day. A lot of the show's early work is about criminals taking responsibility, victims learning to heal, and how Frank, and his family and friends, come to an understanding about Why Bad Things Happen. Don't be so dark, critics. Millennium--seriously!--is not.
Season two of Millennium is nothing short of brilliant, but the foundation is laid here. Strong scripts, talented actors, exceptional production values, and timeless themes (the tolls of work on family life, humanity's struggle with evil, temptations of the Devil, faith and religion, corruptions in governments and organizations) make all three seasons of Millennium a MUST BUY. Don't let mistaken critics, or lackluster DVD sets (a show this rich needs more commentary!), dissuade you from owning one of the best shows of the 90's, nay, of all time.

Relentlessly downbeat, with strong subjects that also make the viewer think. I was hooked from the start with this show on its original TV release and was glad to see it make DVD.
Lance Henriksen is consistently superb as Frank Black showing that he is far more than Alien bait.
I rate this series the highest of the 3, as the overarching conspiracy does not interfere with the story telling. Also the Millenium group works best as hints and suggestions - never show the audience the whole monster (as per the end of series 2).
Dark, pessimistic, but really great stuff from a strong team of writers.
Give this show a try and then order the other series. The other two series are not as good as this, in my opinion, but it is both hard to match the quality here and they do have their own merits and it is fun to see the show go first in one different direction and then make a return to season 1 style.
I just loved the episode Gehenna, think Kafka meets Faust, and this sets the tone of where things are going and what may happen at the turn of the then looming year 2000.
If you like the XFiles come meet its weird cousin.
