Guillermo del Toro’s “Hellboy” airs on Syfy ahead of the series’ imminent reboot. What’s on TVHELLBOY (2004) 8:30 p.m. on Syfy. Hellboy, the cigar-chomping, lobster-colored satanic superhero born of Mike Mignola’s comics in the 1990s, was brought to larger audiences by this Guillermo del Toro-directed romp. He winds up working for a government agency (secret, naturally) that defends against paranormal threats. His fellow agents there include an amphibious man played by Doug Jones (who would later play another fish-man in del Toro’s “The Shape of Water”) and a woman with pyrotechnic abilities (Selma Blair).
