The only problem with The Outer Limits is (IMHO) that the series lacks style.
It's just one of those X-Files ripoffs (or so it seems), with wooden acting, bad
lighting, weak storylines etc. They just annoy the hell out of me, so I hardly
ever watch (and never on purpose). Something about that series screams
"fake", but it's hard to pinpoint what *exactly* the difference is with the X-Files
(that I watch every week -- yes, shame on me). Ambiance I guess...

A good idea. But be sure to hire the X-files team for the rest.
P.s: Millenium isn't total crap, but it certainly hasn't the X-Files brand
of quality. Maybe it's just too hard to care about the depressing ex-cop
and his "perfect loving family". Yech! [vomiting noises]
