Brimstone Audience Reviews

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

ctomvelu1 Veteran TV actor Peter Horton plays a detective returned from the dead who must track down certain souls for the devil, played by the wonderfully droll John Glover. Horton is a reluctant anti-hero. This supernatural show was only on the air for a very short time, unfortunately. Spedial effects are minimal, and that is just as well as the show is strongly focused on the very appealing Horton. Fans of SUPERNATURAL would certainly appreciate it. In a way, BRIMSTONE reminds me of FALLEN with Denzel Washington, and I have forgotten which came first (probably this show). Watch for it. I just caught up with it again on CHILLER.

cirqus-2 Brimstone was a great show. It had a wonderful premise which would have conjured all manner of clever story lines and a wonderfully spicy sense of humour, had the show been allowed to continue. Unfortunately this only received the one showing here in the UK and so I can't recall in too greater detail the nuances of the show - but I do remember the look of it being absolutely revolutionary for TV. The photography was exceptional and I believe they would knock out the 'red' with the use of filters to better convey the premise. On the whole I think this was just far too dark and challenging for the ordinary viewer. As the show went on it did appear to 'soften' on some of it's harder ideas which was a shame as many of the notions kicked up could really have you philosophising over it's central characters predicaments. Peter Horton who played the part of Ezekiel Stone was tremendously worn and rough looking as the reanimated ex-cop who reluctantly undertook his task of retrieving 113 escaped souls from Hell - his punishment for having killed the man who raped his wife, and thus banishing himself to hell. A task set him by the ever brilliant and ever improving John Glover, who played the role of the Devil with such delicious glee, you wish it could result in a spin-off show for this character alone. What a thought!The two actors together at the shows start was always a treat - as the banter between them was wonderfully written and ever so dry. Often laced with biblical referencing and oneupmanship. Thereafter all the regular supporting cast was strong and seemingly very engaged within the premise. From Teri Polo to Lori Petty. It is just such a shame that shows like this that actually have you thinking as you watch and for a long time after, are so rarely taken beyond the initial season.I'd recommend this show above and beyond many on TV today. It was clever, thoughtful, visual and articulate.

paoguy Seeing "Firefly" resurrected into "Serenity," gave me hope that perhaps one day this show will return in some form. "Brimstone" is one of my favorite shows of all time and I watch it on my old DVD tapes as often as I can.I will never be able to figure out TV executives. This show is truly one of those foul ups that I often cite when talking about the stupid programming moves being made over the years.I hope someone at some point in time will resurrect this show and finish Zeke Stone's quest. The first step would be making the show available on DVD. I believe it's sales would show that there is indeed a market out there for this outstanding show.Long live Brimstone!

beaver_333 Although it has been said before, this is another great show - intelligently written, with interesting characters, and a wonderful black sense of humour - that people bypassed in favour of the mind-numbing...um stuff... that gets ratings but has little else. I really hope somebody sees this series for what it was and brings it back from the dead. Barring that, maybe somebody will release the episodes on DVD. Hello, anyone there? Nah, it looks like everyone is watching reruns of Fear Factor.Thanks for you time.
