Forgot to post this yesterday -

Millennium Season 3 is out in stores now. All three seasons of the series are finally out on DVD.

For those who never watched this show when it was on originally in the late ’90s, there is no reason not to experience it now. It was executive produced by Chris Carter, the creator of the X-Files. The series centered on Frank Black (Lance Henriksen, the coolest actor in the business), an ex-FBI agent specializing in serial murder cases. He has an uncanny ability to “see” as the killers do, and therefore is able to stay step-to-step with them as he solves the case. Frank joins up with an organization called the Millennium Group as a consultant to law enforcement on these serial murders. However, the Group has a secret past and an agenda that is not quite as it seems…

The series takes a very dreary tone as it approaches the new millennium in 2000 and the future it brings, and Frank finds the murders he is investigating show increasing evidence to the impending apocalypse. Think of it as part CSI, part Se7en, and part X-Files. It was a mix that worked wonderfully, and there hasn’t been anything like it since (except for the upcoming Night Stalker).

Millennium is Chris Carter’s Magnum Opus. Even if you didn’t like his other shows, you should at least check this out. Case in point – my wife hates the X-Files, but she was instantly hooked on Millennium. And by the way, it has one of the scariest sequences ever in TV or film, in the episode “Lamentation”.
