Season one of Millennium begins as ex-FBI agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) moves from Washington, D.C., to the state of Washington -- specifically, his home town of Seattle. Gifted with the psychic power to see through the eyes of violent criminals and thereby anticipate their next moves, Frank uses this talent on behalf of the Millennium Group, an apparently benevolent organization dedicated to rooting out serial killers and preparing humankind for the possible Apocalypse; Millennium employee Peter Watts (Terry OQuinn) serves as Franks contact. Our hero also volunteers as a criminal profiler to help his friend Bob Bletcher (Bill Smitrovich), a Seattle homicide detective. Meanwhile, Franks wife, Catherine (Megan Gallagher), counsels trauma patients and crime victims, while their daughter, Jordan (Brittany Tiplady), is just beginning to show signs that she has inherited her dads psychic gift. Most of the crimes Frank helps to solve during season one are standard murders and other such traditional violent acts. But when his friend Bob is killed by a woman who may have been possessed by demons, Frank turns his attentions toward supernatural phenomena, dedicating himself to battling a greater evil than mere criminality. Also, Frank begins to get inklings that the Millennium Group is not all that it seems to be...and that he might end up battling the group as well. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
