I had heard it was crap.

I wouldn't say it's crap, they at least tried to get close to the source material. But it's too campy to be a proper adaptation (some of the stories that they adapted were much darker in Constantine. They were most likely toning it down for primetime TV.)

Also, they went overboard with the special effects but used cheap special effects that wouldn't look out of place in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's sad because the stories in Hellblazer could have benefited from less flashy special effects. They could have gone with atmospheric, like Oren Peli's the River.

They also saddled it with a poor timeslot and relatively weak marketing.

It's too much for broadcast TV here in the States. It would have done better on cable where it could get away with more stuff. I was actually surprised by how good it was considering. They even got to the point to where they could show him lighting a cig.

Agreed w/SOM about the effects. DEFINITELY agree with both you and Doc re: toning it down to the point of being hard to watch. I was hoping (because I guess I'm ignorant, or optimistic) that it'd catch on and get moved to cable. Farfetched, I know. Oh, well.
