Solid doc of underrated "Millennium" show

Very well-done documentary about the underrated late 1990s Fox TV show "Millennium" that ran for 3 seasons yet was cancelled in 1999 just before the millennium (?!). Includes interviews by the showrunners, producers, writers & actors. They include creator Chris Carter ("The X-Files") and the following actors: Lance Henriksen (Frank Black) Megan Gallagher (Catherine Black) Brittany Tiplady (Jordan Black) Bill Smitrovich (Lt. Bob Bletcher) Klea Scott (Agent Emma Hollis) Stephen E. Miller (FBI Asst Dir Andy MacLaren) and Sarah-Jane Redmond (Lucy Butler).All in all, a very good line-up of contributors. I would've liked to have also seen Terry O'Quinn (Peter Watts) as he's a favorite of mine and also Kristin Cloke (Lara Means), but you can't have everything. O'Quinn hasn't had much to say about the show anyway, since his character is so grey. Season 2 showrunners Glen Morgan & James Wong are MIA too but they are discussed.I watched the excellent Blu-ray put out by SRS Cinema and it runs 2 hours and 31 mins. Highly recommended.

STILL missing Morgan + Wong from season 2

Without rehashing my complicated up-and-down experience with the series back in the late 90s, "MATM" is an enjoyable and informative summary of an orphaned yet beloved show and the talents involved in bringing it to the screen. What a blast, hearing season-by-season commentary regarding various episodes from the actors and crew who put it all together. Heck, just watching him talk made this aspiring writer want to work for producer Chip Johannssen.

However, "MATM" suffers from one glaring shortcoming -- the obvious elephant in the room being the absence of Glen Morgan and James Wong, producers for Season 2. Given all the controversy surrounding their chosen direction (including a bold world-ending pandemic to close out the season), finally hearing from Morgan and Wong would make "MATM" a 10 out of 10. THIS is what fans like me are dying to see; 20+ years later, we still argue about whose vision was better, Chris Carter's or Morgan/Wong. (I'm a Season 2 fan, for the record.) Practically every interviewee dances around this sensitive topic, and there is obviously plenty of bad blood remaining. Not hearing from M+W inevitably detracts from the tale.

For this reason, "MATM", while hugely enjoyable, is merely a more detailed rehash of the 2004 season-by-season documentaries available on the DVD collection sets with 15 more years' perspective thrown in. Still, definitely worth watching for fans.
