Looking back at a remarkable series. I remember watching Millennium when it was first broadcast in the UK. It was a miserable, downbeat, depressing and fantastic show. Unrelentingly bleak for the most part. It was probably funded as a series due to the success of Se7en at the cinema - astonishingly dark film (also brilliant). Millennium depends almost entirely on Lance Henriksen to carry the show. His care worn, lived in look and carefully measured delivery are everything... the world around him is spinning into insanity as the millennium approaches. Frank's only refuge is his family. Each week is a new depraved layer to the story as he's pulled closer to the mysterious Millennium Group. If you haven't seen it, you are missing one of the great underappreciated TV shows. So ideally don't watch this first! But if you do... hopefully it will prompt you to spend time on the show itself.

Interviews with Black, Gallagher, Chris Carter but sadly no Terry O'Quinn.
