Did you mean to associate Israel with "good"? Or did I misread that?

MillenniuM is a great show, sad how the characters that begin as a close knit & loving family get destroyed by Frank Black's forays into the heart of darkness... The show goes down a melancholic rabbit hole where the psychic ability of an ex-FBI agent to tap into the minds of serial killers brings about the sad undoing of Frank Black's family.

Frank's ability was not 'psychic' in the sense of the word, but rather a deep mental ability to put himself in the mind of the killer. Nonetheless, the flashback sequences do evoke the psychic connotation. Carter explicitly discusses this in some of the documentaries on the series.

Thanks for this reflection on MillenniuM - I've not seen it, but given your insights I'll have to check it out.

I don't know how I missed this series when it first aired. It's exactly my cup of tea. The first season of True Detective was extremely good as was this retrospective. Lots to sink one's teeth (the better to eat you my dear) into.
