Now an outcast from the Millennium Group, Frank Black has went back to work as a profiler for the FBI. Frank meets some new friends and foes in the halls of the bureau. He will also have to deal with Peter Watts, a former friend and confident who still works for the Millennium Group. As the group works to keep their secrets secret, Frank must deal with their schemes and the now rapidly developing powers of his own daughter Jordan. Frank will have to choose to either sit back and watch things come to an end as the year 2000 approaches, or stand up and fight the events of the approaching millennium.

Season three is the final season of Millennium, and unfortunately it goes out with a whimper.

Much like season two, it continues to take the series into cloudy areas that leave the show, and the viewer, into confusing and foggy waters.

Things go bad right from the start as the season two ending events of a horrible plague are cut and re-written to only have been a small viral out break. The writers then go on to add a side kick for Frank by the name of Emma Hollis, a young, upstart agent and it also adds another new agent who is always at odds with Frank and his theories. The show’s storylines also go way into the bizarre throughout the season. Plot lines and events seem to happen for no reason and some of the show’s ending conclusions are just plain terrible, the episode entitled “Omerta” is all the proof you need of this.

There are a few highlights in season three and I do mean a few. Episodes “Thirteen Years Later”, “Antipas” and “Saturn Dreaming of Mercury” touch on what made the show so great in season one. But in the end nothing can save Millennium from itself, well it’s crew of writers who turned it from a great show dealing with serial killers and profiling into a horrible attempt at X-Files-lite. Season one was great, season two got choppy and season three just fills space.
