http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/17/REAPER----Magic.aspx There doesn’t seem to be a lot of upside to hunting escaped souls for the Devil (Ray Wise). No vacation days, no sick time, things keep disappearing and everything that happens to Sam (Bret Harrison) at work just draws the wrath of Ted the managerial douche bag down harder on Sam and the crew. This time, Andi (Missy Peregrym) suggests a road trip to a Flaming Lips concert at the University of Idaho (My alma mater! Go Vandals!) for the weekend, but Satan doesn’t like the idea of Sam taking a break. Anyway, when things continue to vanish and Sam pops open the box from Hell to find a dove in a cage, Sam (with a little help from Google) figures out that the escaped soul is a former magician named Bellifiore. A little deductive work, a sharp observation or two, and the boys are on the track of one bad fellow. However, in the eight decades or so since his death, Bellifiore has learned more than a little real magic, and he’s … well, tricky. I know, another terrible pun. What can I say? This show brings it out in me. Must be the Devil. How will Sam, Sock (Tyler Labine), and Ben (Rick Gonzalez) trap a real magician using only their wits and a dove from Hell? Will Sam ever learn not to tempt the Devil to screw up his life in ever more ingenious ways? Who cares? Wherever the show is going, it’s a hoot getting there. 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/2007/10/17/REAPER----Magic.aspx 77 60
