Reaper 102 + 103

Okay, so Reaper isn't quite what I was expecting it to be. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though, I'm coming to terms with it. I was expecting the focus to be on catching the soul, and I thought he would get a little more into it. However it seems he is going to remain somewhat reluctant about the whole thing, and the focus is somewhat more on his normal life and relationships. So, less asskicking and more talking about his feeeeeelings. This made the second episode feel a little slow for me, but after the third episode I'm getting used to it. I like Missy Peregrym which helps (kind of glad she didn't do a cameo in Heroes as Candice in 203).



Oh The Devil, you're such a card.


I think it's kind of an interesting theme to the show that his parents never pushed him to do anything with his life, because of their tremendous guilt over what they had done. Now he's stuck in a dead end job that he hates, and doesn't know what to do about it. I think this is probably something they're going to focus on, as they've set up his two friends to be opposite ends of the scale; one wants a career and one never wants to leave home.



It's decidedly the hat that completes the ensemble.


You can't help but find their outfits each week amusing, as they really go all out. I'm not entirely sure where they're going with it all though, things are going to have to change as time goes on or I don't think it'll last. For the moment though, I'll wait and see.



"Oh sorry, that's me at the Emmys."
