Millennium was the sister show (and lead protagonist Frank Black later appeared on the OG show), Strange Luck was another Fox show that like Picket Fences, wanted to do a crossover but it never happened because it got unfairly cancelled and Lone Gunmen has tons of Vince Gilligan and Co.'s signature humor but also came out at the wrong time.
I've found some dailymotion videos of Millennium but much like Homicide and other bingeable shows, it's best to just get the out of print/expensive DVDs (you def won't recommend seeing the special features.
Strange Luck and Gunmen are both available on YouTube channels. How do you guys recommend getting into or introducing peers to these shows (especially if they're huge X-Files fans but never got the chance to see these spin-offs)? -

Absolutely was. It almost reminds me of Trilogy of Terror with how the audience & critics liked it but broadcasters were afraid to reair it. Heck, even FX Network would air it extremely early at like 4 AM as if they were afraid the gory violence would be too much (even for X-Files fans).
