Episodes

Millennium 209-210: Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense, Midnight of the Century 28.03.2024 1:20:15

The funniest episode of Millennium paired with a sad/happy resolution episode as Frank reconciles with his father.

Millennium 207-208: 19:19, The Hand of St. Sebastian 21.03.2024 1:02:39

Now we know the apocalypse is coming, what the millennium group is, and who the snake in the grass is! Whew!! Packed episode.

Sunday Bonus Episode: Hollywood Shuffle and American Fiction 17.03.2024 1:39:52

Just a fun discussion about two interrelated films about 40 years apart. The one is clear-eyed about what it wants to say; the other has a failure of nerve at the very last 5-10 minutes (but perfect and delightful otherwise)! Go listen to Mississippi John Hurt signing Staggerlee/Stag O' Lee to see the other thing that gave American Fiction only a 4 out of 5.

Millennium 205-206: A Single Blade of Grass, The Curse of Frank Black 14.03.2024 1:12:02

Buffalo roaming New York City and a rambling ghost story. Great viewing!

Millennium 203-204 - Sense and Antisense, Monster 07.03.2024 1:16:43

A rather muddled first episode followed by Millennium's take on the Bad Seed.

Millennium 201-202: The Beginning and the End, Beware of the Dog 29.02.2024 1:10:37

Setting up the stakes in Season 2 perfectly!!

Millennium Post-Season 1 Break: Jennifer 8, Pumpkinhead 22.02.2024 1:16:26

Jennifer 8 doesn't hold up but Sheila is blown away about how good Pumpkinhead is.

Millennium 122: Paper Dove, Season in Review 15.02.2024 1:38:03

Not a moment of peace, never an easy answer: the hallmarks of Millennium. And we love it!

Millennium 120-121: Broken World, Maranatha 08.02.2024 1:04:52

A blossoming serial killer and the Anti-Christ! This show just keeps upping the ante!

Millennium 118-119: Lamentation, Powers, Principalities, Thrones and Dominions 01.02.2024 1:25:25

Things have gotten real. Demons and angels exist but they've got bigger things to worry about than us!

Reacher Season 2 30.01.2024 1:00:32

We loved it! An great adaptation of Bad Luck and Trouble.

Millennium115-117: Sacrament, Covenant, and Walkabout 25.01.2024 1:29:22

Three fairly conventional storylines with that Millennium twist! The lighting in and around the perfect yellow is getting darker though.

Millennium 113-114: Force Majeur, Thin White Line 18.01.2024 1:16:57

Force Majeur is so convoluted, Dan watched it twice. The last minute of Thin White Line had Dr. Redmond almost in tears.

Millennium 111-112: Weeds, Loin Like a Hunting Flame 11.01.2024 1:23:01

Nowhere is safe! Gated communities, pharmacies and raves. Sad, sad episodes.

Millennium 109-110: Wide Open, The Wild and the Innocent 04.01.2024 1:16:23

We are absolutely sure that the Black family was going to get bigger! What could have been!

Millennium 107-108: Blood Relations, The Well-Worn Lock 28.12.2023 1:18:31

Think you're upset by the state of the world? Two very very depressing stories about families.

Millennium 105-106: 522666, Kingdom Come 21.12.2023 1:25:50

Get prepared for another of our lengthy discussions on religion. Did you know that elephants have funeral rites and chimpanzees go to war?

Cop Rock: Marital Blitz, No Noose is Good Noose, Bang the Potts Slowly 19.12.2023 1:45:06

It really was a special show that gave us characters and plot lines that we would have continued to watch. And we only really complained about one song!

Millennium: Dead Letters, The Judge 14.12.2023 1:07:38

This show just got really dark, as Frank gets a job offer.

Cop Rock: Oli of Ol’ Lay, Cop-a-Felliac, Potts Don’t Fail Me Now 12.12.2023 1:29:45

We have decided that this show is so much better than we had remembered it!! Sometimes the songs are going to get you emotionally in a way that speech wouldn't have!!

Millennium - The Pilot, Gehenna 07.12.2023 1:31:37

Welcome to Chris Carter's nightmare! Lance Hendrickson is the perfect psychic profiler. Stressful, stressful, stressful.

Cop Rock: Happy Mudder’s Day, A Three-Corpse Meal, The Cocaine Mutiny 05.12.2023 1:32:48

We are much happier with the music. It is so much better than we remembered!

Cop Rock: Pilot, Ill-Gotten Gaines 30.11.2023 1:25:55

Great first two episodes, only had one complaint about the music. However, we are still wondering whether this was a good way for Bochco to go.

Touching Evil (US): Mercy, Show in Review 23.11.2023 1:14:58

As we suspected, the final episode brought this show to a very satisfying end. BUT we still wanted it to go on. We spend most of the episode comparing it to Monk and then to other short-lived shows.

Touching Evil (US) - K, Love Lies Bleeding 16.11.2023 1:02:52

How Dr. Redmond forgot to put this into the key, we will never know! This should have been our third podcast of Touching Evil (US). At least it is up before the finale!! Enjoy
