@Foxander: Then you've probably already seen Poltergeist, Millenium, The Pretender, Timecop, and Knight Rider.

@Foxander: The reasons for the short life of the series
1. The Fox channel
– Fox in the late 90s often hacked projects quickly if they did not show "perfect" ratings.
– Brimstone had a loyal but small audience.
2. Incorrect release time
– The series was launched in prime time next to more powerful shows (the X-Files was at its peak then).
– Many viewers simply switched to competitors.
3. A complex genre
– Mysticism, hell, fugitives from hell — is too "dark" for the mass audience of Fox.
– The show was niche: for fans of dark mythology, but not for the general public.
4. Production problems
– Fox did a grid reshuffle in 1999 (including due to the NFL and other shows).
– Several episodes of Brimstone were filmed, but not aired.

Result
• At least 22 episodes of the first season were planned.
• Only 13 were released (September 1998 – February 1999).
• The series was closed, leaving the plot unfinished.

In fact: Brimstone became a "cult underrated show" of the 90s - a small audience, but there are still fans who consider it a lost gem next to Millennium and Supernatural.

I didn't understand the ending of this episode. I thought Zeke would be braver and take matters into his own hands.
