Not so good.
Not so exciting but still can be watched.

I love this episode! I think I knew I would as soon as I read the bizarre sexual title.
Some people might accuse this episode of being exploitation schlock or tacky - but that's exactly what I love about it. I feel like this is the first Millennium episode I could actually describe as being FUN! Who would have thought it possible?
We get to visit Pumping night Clubs & swingers parties. A "garden of eden" mock up. An underground bomb shelter staged for filming bizarre videos.
I love the performances!
The actress who plays Maureen I remember from the X Files episode Eve. I love how commanding she is as soon as she comes on screen. I hope she gets more appearances in the show.
The guy who plays the fat misogynistic detective is so comical. He has a perfect tone and plays a great antagonist even if some of his sexist lines are very on the nose.
The villain who plays the creepy pharmacist is great - he's believable as the deviant seeking to fulfil his unfulfilled dreams by getting others to act out scenarios for him. He has a very interesting and unique psychology that's awesome to see play out.
The villains wife might be the worst actress in the episode - but somehow it works as she is playing a very awkward and stiff and shy, socially inept woman.
I just had a lot of fun with this episode. I feel like it's one you can watch and enjoy without having to think too deeply. But I'm sure it also has many layers for those interested in delving deeper.

It's alright.

Warning: Spoilers
Lion Like a Hunting Flame isn't dull, but weird and senseless. Three Millennium group participants here with Eve and no family involved and a detective who shares his personal problems, that we're unlikely to ever see again. So random.
