Advantages: Characters, Good Story, Good Locations

Disadvantages: Ending (Season 2), Starts Slowly

I know this is supposed to be about Season 1, but there's no overall section or season 2 so I'll be mixing it a little.

~~~ What's it About ? ~~~

Reaper follows Sam Oliver who has recently become the possession of the devil. It's Sam's job to send escaped souls back to hell. He does this with he help of his friends Sock and Ben, while trying to keep the truth about what he does from his Girlfriend Andi. The overall goal for the Sam is to find a way out of his deal with the devil.

~~~ Cast ~~~

Bret Harrison ... Sam Oliver
Tyler Labine ... Bert 'Sock' Wysocki
Rick Gonzalez ... Ben Gonzalez
Missy Peregrym ... Andi Prendergast
Ray Wise ... The Devil
Jenny Wade ... Nina (Season 2)

~~~ Opinion on Cast ~~~

Everyone involved plays his or her roles excellently. All of the characters are extremely likeable, even the devil. The all play slightly different roles, but compliment each other and their characters personalities brilliantly.

For me this some of the best pieces of casting that has been done in any show, as no characters were at all dislikeable. Even characters, which only appear now and again, are excellent and new characters, which were introduced in Season 2 fitted in brilliantly.

~~~ Opinion on Show ~~~

This was one of my favourite shows on the TV. It was really easy to watch and somehow had a feel good factor to it. Everything was excellent about the show from the stories to the cast to the setting for the show.

When the show first began I wasn't sure if it was going to hold my attention. The first few episodes involve Sam capturing souls and nothing else. This made me think that this was what the whole season was going to be about, but a very interesting story began to develop.

Unfortunately after 2 seasons the show came to an end and a very disappointing one at that, but the quality of everything before that means this is a show I very much recommend watching. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't enjoy this and therefore would recommend it to everyone.

Summary: One of the best shows of recent times
