Millennium Fest

The now-defunct Chris Carter series, Millennium, just came out with the first season on DVD.  Jeff bought it and we've been watching a few eps per night.  For the uninitiated, Millennium was the second series by C.C. (the first being The X-Files).  It's about this guy Frank Black, former FBI, who has the "gift" of being able to see thru the eyes of killers when he's in the proximity of their victims.  He uses this talent doing "consultant work" with a group of former law enforcement folks called the Millennium Group. 

The series, at least in the first 2 seasons was DARK, DARK, DARK and CREEPY.  And we fans liked it that way.  Where else can you get "what ifs" about serial killers, religion, conspiracies, the apocalypse, angels, demons, etc, etc?  In how many series are they willing to kill off main characters in the first season?  Then, in the 3rd season, they tried to lighten it up & brought in a new partner for Frank.  Can I just say BAD DECISIONS?  The show lost its cred & was eventually cancelled anyway.  So, if you are at all interested, see only the first 2 seasons.
