What I'm Watching: Reaper

Reaper: Season 1, Episode 9 “Ashes to Ashes” (C+)

This is an entertaining episode, but nothing really makes sense. The Devil seems to be selectively omniscient, knowing all that is dark and pertaining to devilish activities, as he always pops up whenever Sam does something wrong, yet he does not know squat about the conversations that go on between his girlfriend and Sam. And he knows Sam better than to assume that Sam would not try to talk to his girlfriend. On the subject of girlfriends, it is great that Sam might be interested in the devil’s ex’s daughter, and while her possibly being the devil’s daughter is a bad thing for Sam, it is a good thing for the audience, as that will surely prove to be an entertaining storyline. I like that Andi is still open to the possibility of a relationship with Sam but that she is unwilling to make a move or make up her mind. This show could very well outlast my expectations for its run.
