Reaper

[Chux]

Throughout Sam's life, he always wondered why his Mom and Dad were so easy on him -- whether it was sports, school, or career choices -- and so hard on his brother, Kyle to succeed. Because of it, Sam decides to drop out of college, and takes a deadbeat job, wasting most of his time playing video games, wishing he could ask out his co-worker Andi.

Everything changes in Sam's life once he turns 21 and finds out the reason his parents let him get by with the least possible effort 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.

Sam is armed with "vessels" to collect the escaped souls -- the first one being a Dirt Devil mini-vac. Sam finds that the work is dangerous and frightening, even with the goof ball help of his friends and fellow slackers, Bert "Sock" Wysocki, Ben, and Sock's former girlfriend, Josie. As bizarre as his life becomes, Sam feels good about his new found "mission", 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".

This is going to be really fucking awesome, or the worst show ever. I can't really decide. Which means I'll let the pilot decide for me.

Do you happen to know what channel this will be on when its finally out?

But yeah this show sounds awesome.

The CW

In that case, all of my hope is lost.

[cka]

this one is my favourite of the leaked pilots

[Chux]

Yeah, I liked it. Has a lot of potential even if some of the special effects were a lil on the lame side.

This is overdue for a bump. Is anyone else watching this? I'd say it's easily one of the best of the new shows.

This last weeks episode was great. I'm really enjoying the continuing storyline with the Devil, he's a great character and I'm curious where this is going. My guess is that the Devil was in love with Sam's mom and there's a good chance that Sam is actually the devil's son.
