Baba,
Final installment...I'm through the third season and the included XFiles episode done I guess to tie up some loose ends. Overall, the third season was a train-wreck (especially the episode involving a train wreck...made no sense to me???). There are some good episodes and the introduction of Frank's new partner was well done...liked the character and the actress). I think they tried a bit too hard to be intellectual...the whole series is filled
with Christian mythology and doomsday scenarios, got old after awhile. Frank Black is a great character...very tortured throughout. The episode with Kiss playing and the band members serving as extras was pretty funny but predictable. The XFiles episode featured zombies...very XFiles, very not Millennium. Overall, I'd say it's a good series, very dark with some of the mythology familiar (think DaVinci Code), some thought-provoking but inconsistent in that regard. Well below Forever Knight which I'd recommend above most anything on TV.
