Agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) is a former FBI agent who has transplanted his family from Washington DC 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 humourlessness, 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
Anyway, I'll stop my reverential babbling and cover a few technical points. The image and sound are superb. The extras are very informative and, although I usually don't care for them as they often seem a convenient excuse to boost the price of the item, they are very welcome relative to this great series and its superb value.
This leads to my final comment in the review. I am still at a loss to understand why Millennium, with 22 episodes and extras to boot, retails for under £30 while a series of the x-files with 22-24 episodes often retails at twice that price. Another great mystery . . .
