#Millennium (1996): "okay the first 7 episodes are about brutal, gory, scary serial murders"

me: "some episodes are pretty decent, yes, but don't scare me"

Millennium: "episode 8 is about a father raping his daughters and granddaughter"

me: "oof, I'm glad that this episode is over, this was terribly hard to watch"

(For 30 year old television, it also does a really good job of showing the issues that complicate rape prosecution.)

Was in the mood for starting yet another X-Files rewatch, which would've been the third time watching the whole series.

But then I remembered that there's something else that I've never watched from start to finish, only a few episode as a teenager. So this is what I've started instead.

#Millennium could never happen in real life. It's about a conservative Christian fundamentalist group that infiltrates the American Government and will do anything to accelerate the rapture/Armageddon/the singularity.

I started watching #Millennium series 3 for the first time in ages. I forgot how good it was.

Obviously there's a slight continuity problem - at the end of series 2, the whole world was dying of Marburg virus, but apparently it was just Frank Black's local area.
