Well, I watched the pilot for this the other night, and was pleasantly suprised. It was quite funny, quite reminiscent of Dead Like Me from a couple of years ago. Still very enjoyable. I would recommend people give this one a try if your in the mood for a chuckle.
'Reaper' Throughout Sam's life, he always wondered why his mom and dad were so easy on him. Whether it was sports, school, career choices, or picking on his little brother Kyle, Sam always got away with everything. Because of it, he decided to drop out of college and take a dead beat job, wasting most of his time playing video games and wishing he could ask his co-worker Andi out. However, everything changes in Sam's life once he turns 21 and finds out the reason his parents let him get over was because they sold his soul to the devil before he was born.
Satan explains to Sam that he must serve as his bounty hunter, tracking down souls that have escaped from Hell. Initially, Sam refuses to accept his fate but he realizes the grave consequences of breaking a deal with the devil. He is armed with various vessels to collect the escapees. Sam finds that the work is dangerous and frightening even with the goof ball help of his friends and fellow slackers Sock and Ben, and Sock's former girlfriend, Josie. As bizarre as his life becomes, Sam feels good about his newfound "missions", removing evil souls from the world and sending them back to where they belong. Along with his friends and his vessel of the week, Sam prepares to face his destiny as the "reaper".
Well since it wont let me edit my last post, i will have to put it here
I have just finished watching the first 3 episodes, and i think this will turn out to be quite a good show, the first 3 "vessels" he gets are a dust devil, remote control car, and a toaster. Now as you can imagine, capturing souls with vessels such as these proves difficult, and then the hilarity ensues. So if anyone has read this and thought to watch it, do so, it is quite a funny show.
omg my son love this show, he cant wait to find out what sams going to kill the demoned with when he opens up the box. And watch out for sams M8 to have a dirty dream about the demoned from the Driving centre, it cracked me up.
Just started watching this show on E4. Refreshingly funny and enjoyable. Was expecting a copy cat show in the Ghost Rider theme but it had original twists enough to make different (does that make sense?!?).
