(Release Date 102414, Rating TV-14, Duration 43 mnts, 13 Episodes, Genre Adventure, Fantasy, Horror)

Adapted from a comic book series, Hellblazer, a man struggling with his faith is haunted by the sins of his past but is suddenly thrust into the role of defending humanity from the gathering forces of darkness.

+ A great representation and reinterpretation of a cult character on television that nails his characteristics perfectly which contrast well with the dark tone of the show
+ Beautifully shot across the episode with excellent visuals and special effects, edited well together with a nice balance of drama and humour
+/- Creative licenses have been taken on the original premise and its supernatural elements to cope with adapting it for general audience
