With my 4th round pick in the TV draft, I am very proud to select in the category of DRAMA, a show that was killed long before it should've been.....Chris Carter's MILLENNIUM.

What a fantastic show. Creepy, edgy, dark with excellent character development and intense story lines, this was Chris Carter's child during the X-Files years! If he had waited until X-Files was over with to get this thing going it might have survived...then again, maybe that wait would've caused this show to lose a key actor or writer. In any case, 3 seasons was not enough.
This series was movie like in it's filming. Exceptioanl cinematography for a TV show and great scores by Mark Snow that I wish would be released on CD.
Millenium is the story of Frank Black (Lance Henriksen), a former FBI profiler who moves to Seattle and begins consulting work for The Millennium Group. At first, the group is viewed as a sort of citizens against crime thing but as the series moves on we learn more and more about the group and it's motivations. Terry O'Quinn (pure awesomeness) stars as Peter Watts, the Millennium member who recruits Frank's services. It's ony 3 seasons, so I won't ruin the story with anymore plot talk since most people can watch the whole series on a long weekend!
Great creepy lead in that peaks curiosity IMO. Very well done.
Darwin's Eye Opening Season 3 E 17. A good example of the fantastic start to each episode.
