    Cop Kills wife's rapist comes back from hell to kill 113 evil demons escaped from hell to redeem himself for a second chance. Great acting and story line. hide show

    Love this show...makes me want to see more would be great to bring it back now that these type of shows are big hits, this one was way before it's time...If you like Supernatural, Warehouse 13 etc you will like this one...showing on chiller network from time to time. The demons on this show are really cool and their crimes and how they carry them out now that they are free are interesting and creative. If you can catch this show on chiller it is worth the watch, I am hoping they will come out on DVD soon as Chiller has shown only 1-8 and there are 13 total.

    Brimstone: Smokin' (Sorry-I couldn't resist) hide show

    "Brimstone" was a series with a unique twist and a hell of a cast, pardon the pun. Peter Horton was just great as Ezekial Stone, but John Glover stole the show with his role as Satan. I believe that if there is such a creature-Glover did him justice in his characterization. He was an absolute gem. The writers were especailly good for a horror series also. The one-liners mixed in with the drama were a fantastic mix. It is just such a shame that the show did not last long enough for Stone to catch all 113 of his adversaries. I can just imagine what Glover's Satan would have had to say when, he had to let Stone go.

    Smart choise. hide show

    I thought this series, as short lived as it was, is a 'gem within a gem'. It was a highly stylized drama/ fantasy flick. Hats off to the cast as they all played their parts well. Too bad audiences didn't take to the shows and "Brimstone" got canceled- I guess audiences don't have taste. Some silly blooper show was put in its place and I was fuming when I found that out.

    Mainstream audiences unfortunately aren't interested in surreal and complex thrillers like "Brimstone". They want something they can understand and identify with which I, as a director, don't care much for unless I'm in the mood to take them by the hand and explain things they can identify.

    Each writer has a sense of style and this can be seen in "Brimstone". There is of course the corny humor in the show which just that- corny. The seriousness of the characters is magnificent and well spun up.

    But, the mainstream audiences didn't go for it. This is why I shoot movies for myself and not them. Like my films, "Brimstone" is an acquired taste and develops a cult following much like "Spike Of Love", "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" or "Gross Total".

    "Brimstone" should have been given a fair chance.

    A dark and wonderous show with lots of supernatural elements. Plus the Devil himself! hide show

    Brimstone was simply dark and wonderful. Mystery/drama stories with a recently dead detective, Ezekiel Stone (played by Peter Horton) trying to win his freedom from hell by catching 113 escapees from Hell. Poor Ezekiel's had to spend time in Hell for tracking and killing his former wife's rapist. You see, sin is sin…and in Stone's case, the fates weren't so forgiving. The 113 Stone's been sent after are some of the baddest motha's ever sent to Hell, and lots more experienced at wrongdoing than Stone. But Stone's got to figure out how to live in the world without disclosing his true identity, of course, cannot communicate with or see his wife, and endure unpredictable visits from the snarky Devil who'll send Stone back to Hell if he doesn't succeed at his task. And the wickedly masterful and snappily dressed Devil pulling all Stone's strings: John Glover. 'Nuff said.

    A good show ahead of it's time. hide show

    Brimstone was SO ahead of it's time. A truely original
    concept indeed. And who wouldn't love John Glover aka
    Lionel Luthor (from Smallville) as the devil?! lol I don't think a more perfect role was made for the guy!
    There was nothing wrong with this show. other than
    enough ppl didn't give it a chance, or perhaps it had
    a bad time slot. I think if this show aired now, it
    would hit. At the very least stand a better chance.
    Still, it's out on dvd I think. Even if it's not yet,
    u can download it online. It's only one season's worth.
    But definately worth checking out!
