Whether it was sports, school, career choices, or picking on his little brother Kyle, Sam always got away with everything. Because of it, he decided to drop out of college and take a dead beat job, wasting most of his time playing video games and wishing he could ask his co-worker Andi out. However, everything changes in Sam's life once he turns 21 and finds out the reason his parents let him get over 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.

Critic Reviews

Verne Gay

This doesn't pretend to be a deep show, but it's a pleasant diversion with a good cast, and really good (read: expensive) production values. Read full review

Aaron Barnhart

After a nine-month hiatus, one of the best new shows of last season returns from the undead with a bit more of the deviled edge that made it so great when it first emerged from the crypt in the fall of 2007. Read full review

Rob Owen

Creatively, the show seems to be in pretty decent shape. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

It’s hard to invest much in Sam when his behavior is contradictory or gullible and when he seems downtrodden much of the time. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Back for its second season, Reaper has one thing left going for it: Ray Wise as the dapper Devil. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Reaper takes several steps back--and a few steps sideways--suggesting a drunken all-nighter may be in order, if it hasn't happened already. Read full review

Todd R. Ramlow

Set against Reaper‘s slackers and the largely limited actors who portray them, Wise will having you rooting for the Devil. Read full review
