And I didn't even see when it was on. Found it on instant Netlix. Maybe if more people like myself had been in tune when it was on, it wouldn't have gotten canceled.The cast couldn't have been more right on! It was trivial to me while I watched. It was like putting together a puzzle! Sock being the same actor who played that drunk fellow who just needed some coffee so he could drive home in Zack & Miri Make A Porno was far out! "You and your little dog!" Sam was none other than the ill-fated Charlie from That '70s Show, who, in my opinion, kicked Randy's prettyboy behind.Ray Wise scared the hell out of me in Fire Walk With Me, but as the Devil he's more like an easy going CEO who moonlights as a talk show host.This show was legendary and I believe that it holds the power of fan potential to get an amazing flick sequel adapted for the big screen! Think All Saints Day, but not ten years away.Let's get it done!

I don't know about you guys but Reaper is one of the best shows i've seen cuz it brings something totally new (for me at least. I mean were can you find a show that is funny and has demons). I have seen the season like 3 time already and I can still watch it. What I'm wondering is what took them so long I mean the show was aired like in 2007 and it takes the 2 years 2 make 13 episodes. I can't wait till season 2 arrives in March, damn, it will be one of the most outrages shows in '09. Ps: I wonder if Sam is gonna finally use his powers I mean it shoud have been even better if he were able 2 make fireballs right? So I made my self clear and because the review needs 2 be 10 lines long I need 2 make usless points.

I like it. It's not the best, it could certainly use some work, especially with the special effects - It's not all that easy to make a low-budget action-comedy series these days, that's enjoyable or at least doesn't make you want to kill yourself. But the Devil is what will take the series to a successful and better second season. Don't get me wrong - the show is great. Main character, Sam Oliver, The Devil and Sock are portrayed brilliantly, and the other actors seem to match with their characters. Story starts of well, get's a bit slow for a couple of episodes, then it picks up again, gives us some unexpected twists, and just for the story(it got interesting) and the Devil(do I even need to explain why I like him?) I will watch the second season. And if the effects get better, Reaper might just hit my personal top 5 ranking...

"Reaper" is better than most of the TV shows on offer recently. It plays similar to "Chuck" with a dead-beat hero being thrust into a situation where he's called on to step up and be a man and take responsibility for something he's not responsible for. In this, Sam's parents sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his father surviving an unnamed terminal disease. The relations between Sam and his parents are justifiably strained after this news comes to light. Like Chuck, Sam is surrounded by pals to help him in his new role. Tyler Labine almost steals the show as "Sock", Sam's best friend although it is Ray Wise in his role as the Prince of Darkness who has all the best lines and chews up the scenery. The comedy is as dark as it gets and it's not suitable for under 13's but enjoyable for anyone with half a brain.
