📺 Millennium, S 1 E 17 “Walkabout” (1997)

Whoa, brutal cold open. Literally gave me chills. Millennium was steeped in the fears and taboos of later 20th-century America, and “Walkabout” was about our nation’s increasing usage of antidepressants and why.

Horror aside, one of the things I like about this series is that it’s almost always raining in every episode. And you can see breath streaming from everyone’s mouth when they shoot outdoor scenes. I also like that everyone’s clothes look normal, not tightly fitted, as we see on TV shows today. The clothes on Lance Henriksen hang off his body.
