| reaping good fun I was not the only one who enjoyed Reaper last night. As expected, it made me laugh out loud, and quite a few times. And this is coming from the guy that standardly doesn't enjoy comedies. I like witty lines, weird situations and a cast that obviously enjoys what they are doing. Sam had his soul sold to The Devil by his parents and it was to be claimed on his 21st birthday. Instead The Devil uses Sam as a bounty hunter collecting wayward souls in pretty much the same fashion as a half dozen other specFic series have done. The difference here is that Sam realizes he wants to do it because it gives a slacker boy some motivation, as in he is actually saving people's lives by sending the evil souls packing. But it's the writing and acting more than the plot. Sok & Sam are hilarious, picking on each other and snarking back in forth in voices that I swear were taken from college friends of mine. We are not talking brilliance here but pretty damn good wit and a lot of fun. Smacking the bedeviled terrier with the door? LOL. Tossing a bottle at Sam's head when he claimed he had the power to move things with his mind? LOL. Drawing eyebrows on their coworker after a run-in with an arsonist soul? LOL. The Devil being a pretty nice guy, if a bit of a stinker? LOL. I will enjoy this show before they inevitably cancel it. September 26 07 |
