No, not this silly uncredited remake that Adam is
watching starring Green Aquaman.

 

The one and only original series from 2001, starring the
Highlander versus the vampire from Forever Knight!

 

An incredibly goofy one season wonder from Canadia's
space channel. . . .

 

The premise sounds like "Brimstone" only the good guy
doing the chasing of bad guys on "Brimstone" doesn't
have any superpowers. He's just a dead cop recruited
by the Devil to round up the excapees.

 

And the equivalent of the barkeeper lady is the clerk
at the two-bit dive the dead cop is sleeping in.

 

The question becomes: Which series was first and stole
the premise from the other?

 

Nyssa, who wishes that there were a DVD available (that
doesn't ship from Pakistan) of the 14 filmed (but
not all broadcast) of "Brimstone"

 
Brimstone was broadcast on Fox, fall and winter quarters
1998-1999 television season.

Thank you!

I kind of thought that "Brimstone" was first, but I
wasn't 100% sure. So "Tracker" in 2001 um...borrowed
from Brimstone.

I sounds as though "Brimstone" was better. I've got
a couple or three episodes recorded. Maybe I should
re-watch those to refresh my memory.

Nyssa, who remembers that John Glover was an especially
devilish Devil in "Brimstone"
