SHORT LIVED TELEVISION

I wish this show of all the shows I followed had lasted a little longer...It only lasted 13 episodes...but the concept was really original and humorous as well as suspenseful...
The main character is a hard-boiled detective who kills his wifes rapist in cold-blood...
When he later dies he is told by the devil that he is going to spend eternity in Hell...
But then there is a hell-break and 113 of the worst souls escape...
The devil gives Zeke Stone a deal...he will gain redemption if he returns all 113 of the lost souls...
And everytime he captures a soul a correspondiong tattoo on his skin disappears...
I just wish it had lasted longer...
It fits in the mold of other series I have loved that were cut short...They all have the main character under the control of his obvious enemy...
Brimstone: He is in the employ of the devil
Now and Again: The main character is killed but they keep his brain alive and he has to stay with the government scientist who controls him... and He can't see his wife again

Invisible Man: The main character is subjected to an experiment and then has to stay under the control of the government that ran the experiment... because they hold the medicine he needs to keep from going crazy...
