Reaper: Season 1, Episode 12 "Unseen" (C+)
I knew the gay neighbors were too good to be true. Their presence, as demons, makes the endgame of this show all the more cloudy and vague. Instead of things coming together at this point, which creatively they should be at this point, all these new elements are being introduced. The trio moves into a new place, Sam's girl starts getting bad vibes from Sam as he gets worse ones from her, the Devil starts getting moody and insulted, and Ted becomes a major player in the show once again. It is all so jumbled, and the hunt for the soul, which is reminiscent of the first week where they suited up with the smoke detectors, is not quite exciting enough to make up for it. With some fine retooling and an eye to the far superior "Chuck", this show could well be on its way to greatness, but I wouldn't be too disappointed to see it go after next week's presumable season finale. Bret Harrison should easily be able to find yet another role on a fledgling comedy as a character named Sam.
