TV-Reaper

Another little watched show on the CW (OK almost all shows on the CW are little watched) is Reaper. A mix of comedy, satire and supernatural action, it does not easily fit into one genre.

It is about a young slacker that turns 21, still living at home. But he finds out on his birthday that his parents sold his soul to satan before he was born, and now he has to be satan's bounty hunter, capturing souls that have escaped from hell.

He is assisted in this by two friends, and one of them that goes by Sock, is just hilarious. A Jack Black sort, and played by, Tyler Labine, Sock really helps this show. The main character, Sam, also has a love interest with his "friend" and co-worker, Andi, played by the very attractive Missy Peregrym (what a great last name for a devil show).

the show is frequently laugh out loud funny, and seems to be working its way out of predictable formulas every week.

Oh, and satan is played REALLY well by Ray Wise.

Fun show, I hope it lasts.
