http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/REAPER----Pilot-Episode.aspx No matter how you feel about birthdays, everybody’s had at least one that really and truly sucked. As the new CW series REAPER fires up (yeah, yeah, bad pun alert), Sam Oliver (Bret Harrison) is having one of those really crappy birthdays; in this case, his 21st. He lives at home with his folks and his smarter little brother near Seattle, he works a loser job at a place that makes Home Depot look upscale, he’s too chicken to ask the girl of his dreams (Missy Peregrym) out on a date, he seems to have developed the ability to move objects with his mind randomly, and he has to go home from work because he was chased out of the store by a pack of Hellhounds. Hellhounds? Yep, that’s right: Hellhounds. It turns out that Sam’s parents sold his soul to the Devil (Ray Wise), to be collected on Sam’s 21st birthday. What kind of screwed-up birthday present is that? Anyway, Old Scratch has turned up to collect, which does absolutely nothing to help Sam’s mood. But it’s not all bad: The Devil actually wants Sam to collect escaped souls and send them back to Hell by dropping them off at a portal, like the DMV. All my suspicions are now confirmed. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/REAPER----Pilot-Episode.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/REAPER----Pilot-Episode.aspx#1526 Well this show I saw, and i really like it. This fall, is bringing some good shows to cable. I haven't seen hits like these on tv for quite awhile. I wish I was the devil's helper, as there's some souls I'd like to send there!!
