Trivia:

The show's level of violence sparked a short-lived call for curtailment of violence on television. Although the series was cancelled long before the actual Millennium occurred, the story of Frank Black was (more or less) resolved in a 1999 episode of _"X-Files, The" (1993)_ entitled "Millennium."

Quotes:

Catherine Black: Your gift gave you a nervous breakdown. This gift makes you see horrible images. It's turning you away from your family, from your daughter. It's caused you to turn to the Millennium Group. Frank, you never even consider that this gift that you have could be lying to you. What is it going to do to Jordan? I want her to have a chance. I want a childhood free from this. I want her to know she has somewhere to turn other than within herself...

Brilliant

This is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking series that has come out in a long time. If we were able give it a vote, I would give it a 10/10.
