Well, I just finished watching and thought it was pretty interesting. So not worthy of its time slot, but still. xDDD
Throughout Sam's life, he always wondered why his Mom and Dad were so easy on him—whether it was sports, school, or career choices—and so hard on his brother, Keith to succeed. Because of it, Sam decides not to go to college, and takes a deadbeat job, wasting most of his time playing video games, wishing he could ask out his co-worker Andi.
Everything changes in Sam's life once he turns 21 and finds out the reason his parents let him get by with the least possible effort was because they sold his soul to the devil before he was born. Satan explains to Sam that he must serve as his bounty hunter, tracking down souls that have escaped from Hell.
Sam is armed with "vessels" to collect the escaped souls—the first one being a Dirt Devil mini-vac. Sam finds that the work is dangerous and frightening, even with the goof ball help of his friends and fellow slackers, Bert "Sock" Wysocki, Ben, and Sock's former girlfriend, Josie. As bizarre as his life becomes, Sam feels good about his new found "mission", removing evil souls from the world and sending them back to where they belong. Along with his friends and his vessel of the week, Sam prepares to face his destiny as the "Reaper." (From Wiki)
I really did like most of the characters. All of them were acted well and decently developed for a pilot, except Missy Peregrym's character, Andi. They really need to work on that. However, the comedy styling is nice and unique, plus everything Kevin Smith does is awesome, so I'm sure it will get better. Not much else is on at the same time (Tuesday 9/8c) this year, so I'll probably be tuning it. What did you guys think?
