Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Creators Reiff and Voris later wrote Bulletproof Monk and the first season of Sleeper Cell — they clearly had a thing for morally compromised protagonists with impossible missions.
Brimstone premiered the same year as Charmed and Buffy's third season, fighting for supernatural TV dominance against two juggernauts with way bigger budgets and cheerier premises.
