    Millennium [Season 1, Episode 19] Broken World
    Shown 2 May 97
    Shown 5th November 2001 - Monday

    A Serial Killer is doing evil deeds in a horse-rearing valley. Ingrid Kavelaars pops up in the pre-credits sequence as a woman who disturbs the man during his grisly work ...

    Millennium [Season 1, Episode 20] Broken World
    Shown 9 May 97
    Shown 6th November 2001 - Tuesday

    The episode starts in a scene reminiscent of Metropolis - it is Chernobyl ... just before the meltdown.

    We move forward over a decade, and a serial killer is wiping out Russians living in Brooklyn. Bill Nunn [Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead] plays the detective who investigates the case. Brian Downey [ Lexx ] appears as the coroner.

    Millennium [Season 1, Episode 22] Paper Dove (1)
    Shown 16 May 97
    Shown 8th November 2001 - Thursday

    Frank Black, his wife and kid all head off to Arlington, Virginia, for a family get-together with the in-laws. As always in this kind of show, a holiday is an excuse for a co-incidence that leads to a murder-mystery. Yes, Frank stumbles across yet another serial killer.

    Frank profiles a man who is accused of killing his own wife. The man does not fit Frank's profile for such a crime, and it is frightningly realistic to see how an innocent man could be jailed [on minimal evidence] for a crime he did not commit.
