I don’t remember when this show was out. It was probably on the SF Channel in the 80’s or early 90’s. It was about a guy who went to Hell for killing the man who raped his wife. But he was, essentially, a good guy, and he was going to get the ‘reward’ of going back to Earth—and in return, he had to hunt down souls who’d escaped from Hell. Anyone remember what this was called? ---

Was it ‘The Crow’ by any chance. That is the plot of the ‘CROW’ movies and there was a short lived TV series by that name. Bob ---

Nope—not The Crow. Good suggestion, though. ---

I remember the show. But I can’t remember the name. This is going to drive me nuts until I think of it now. ---

Hey, someone else who remembers this show! I thought it was pretty good, so I was sad that it was so short-lived.
