I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
... View MoreDon't listen to the negative reviews
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreSomebody recommended 'Brimstone' to me. Unfortunately I can't remember who, otherwise I would go back to ask him what the hell he was thinking. The show about a cop who went to hell, but got back on earth to catch 113 escapees from hell, is quite dreadful. It is trashy with awful cinematography, typical trashy overused 90s soundtrack and terrible special effects. It's not really well-written, and a very formulaic episodic monster-of-the-week type show.Add to that a lot of rather bad actors and a so-and-so supernatural story, and what you get is a run-of-the-mill episodic TV show that can serve as a guilty pleasure, if you are able to tolerate a high amount of cringing and a heap of gaping plot holes. Every "twist" can be seen miles ahead, the characters are superficial at best, and still the show feels the need to spell out every single thing to the viewers, completely insulting their intelligence. If it was a movie it would star Michael Dudikoff.
... View MoreI just finished watching episode 13 of this show. I have to see I enjoyed the series very much. But I can see why it was cancelled. It had something missing - I cant put my finger on it - but an x-factor wasn't there.The stories were very good, the premise was excellent, the witty dialogue all good. But something was missing. And I think that something the writers finally hit on in episode 13. I have to say its the best of the lot. Its unfortunate that it was the last and the show wasn't giving a proper season to mature.It's another one of those shows with great potential that was never given the chance to shine...
... View MoreThe only good thing about this series was John Glover as the Devil. His portrayal of the Devil as a slick, corporate CEO type (just like the character he plays on Smallville) has to be THE best portrayal of the Devil I have ever seen. If he were the main character instead of just a cameo in each episode, the show might have lasted. But the use of supernatural trappings did not change the fact that Brimstone was just another really bad TV series about an ex-cop bounty hunter.
... View MoreAfter 5 years, it's amazing how this series will come into conversation when I talk to people about great shows that have been cancelled. Following in the tradition of shows like American Gothic, it seems that the networks shy away from shows that could be perceived as "smart" or "cerebral". The series had a great premise and although I've heard it said here that the series run would have been limited by the 113 souls Zeke Stone was to send back, this is not necessarily so... After all, one or two of the escapees could have proven more of a nemesis for Zeke than the others and extended the running life of the show.There are very few shows now that are smart and witty enough to stand this type of test of time though... Where you find yourself asking people, even to this day, if they remember it and the details of it are impressed on you enough that you can impart the plotline, premise and characters of the show to them. This is one show that should have never gotten the axe...
