STILL missing Morgan + Wong from season 2

Without rehashing my complicated up-and-down experience with the series back in the late 90s, "MATM" is an enjoyable and informative summary of an orphaned yet beloved show and the talents involved in bringing it to the screen. What a blast, hearing season-by-season commentary regarding various episodes from the actors and crew who put it all together. Heck, just watching him talk made this aspiring writer want to work for producer Chip Johannssen.

However, "MATM" suffers from one glaring shortcoming -- the obvious elephant in the room being the absence of Glen Morgan and James Wong, producers for Season 2. Given all the controversy surrounding their chosen direction (including a bold world-ending pandemic to close out the season),finally hearing from Morgan and Wong would make "MATM" a 10 out of 10. THIS is what fans like me are dying to see; 20+ years later, we still argue about whose vision was better, Chris Carter's or Morgan/Wong. (I'm a Season 2 fan, for the record.) Practically every interviewee dances around this sensitive topic, and there is obviously plenty of bad blood remaining. Not hearing from M+W inevitably detracts from the tale.

For this reason, "MATM", while hugely enjoyable, is merely a more detailed rehash of the 2004 season-by-season documentaries available on the DVD collection sets with 15 more years' perspective thrown in. Still, definitely worth watching for fans.

Great documentary on a great show

The time is now!!

I discovered Millennium reruns on the Chiller channel long after the show was cancelled. It is easily a top five all time favorite of mine and was way ahead of its time.

Most of the cast are all here-- Lance Henrickson, Megan Gallagher, Klea Scott, Brittany Tiplady, and others-- all reminiscing about the show that they're all still very proud of.

If you were a fan of the show, 1013 productions, or just documentaries in general-- I highly recommend this movie. I know it's on Amazon Prime now and I believe available on Blu Ray/ DVD (with great extras including a special tour of the Yellow House).

MillenniuM after the MillenniuM: A love letter to fans

Way back, in the 1990s, The X-Files was riding high. Fox wanted another hit show so they asked Chris Carter, creator of said X-Files, to develop another show. What he came up with was MillenniuM.

Set in the same universe as The X-Files, MillenniuM would be something completely different. Darker, scarier and unnerving.

The main protagonist, Frank Black, was an ex-FBI agent working as a consultant for a group of ex-law enforcement personnel, known as The MillenniuM Group, who tackled cases that the overstretched Police couldn't. Serial killers, cults, religious killings, stalkers etc.

Each episode was almost a mini-movie, with a budget that many small independent movies of the time would wish for. The pilot could quite easily have been a feature-length film.

Many found the series to be too dark and downbeat, which would eventually lead to its cancellation.

What many failed to realise was that MillenniuM was too far ahead of its time. Looking back, now, shows like Dexter, The Sopranos, The Shield, The Wire, Sons of Anarchy etc. took these dark themes and tones and made a success of them, because the audience was now ready. MillenniuM had primed them.

But, back in 1996, with shows like Frasier and The Simpsons being all cosy and happy, MillenniuM didn't stand a chance.

However, MillenniuM had, and still has, a strong and loyal fan base. That's where this documentary comes in.

Jason D. Morris has directed a documentary, with all of the major players providing candid interviews, interspersed with clips from MillenniuM and other shows that it influenced.

The opening titles hark back to the opening titles of MillenniuM, dark and foreboding, while the score does more than enough justice to Mark Snow's original score, to bring the whole documentary together quite nicely.

This finished documentary is a masterful production that does justice to MillenniuM, its cast and crew and, especially, its fans.

Running from 1996-1999, MillenniuM ran over three seasons before being cancelled before the millennium finally succeeded.
