So yesterday I posted that NCIS and Reaper where the shows of chose. Read on for my review of last nights top picks.
"NCIS" started things off with a BANG, literally. Shortly after the start of the 1 hour show, Tony's car was blown up with him in it.
SPOILER: (highlight area to read spoiler.
It wasn't actually Tony driving the car but for about 10-15 minutes of the show the NCIS thought Tony was in the car and dead.
The show was classic NCIS and reminded me of why I love this show/cast/characters. Though the last part of episode left me little confused since it was wrapping up a long plot line from last year and I didn't remember all the nuisances to the story line. Though there is still something big coming down and NCIS is the target. Some reason all NCIS has been targeted for polygraphs and full reviews.
"Reaper" was another refreshing breath to the fall lineup. Reaper was another great, enjoyable show with just the right balance. Almost up there with the opening episode of Chuck. Reaper has potential if they can keep it up in the upcoming episoeds. Just the right mix of humor and plot.
I especially loved Ray Wise as "The Devil". He fit the part like a glove and I especially loved the less than typical treatment of the "bad guy" of the series. He won't take failure or no for an answer but at same time he really seemed interested in making sure Sam is able to pull off the job while at same time not messing up his personal life too much.
I also loved the small bit at the DMV. Fans of the "Dead Like Me" series would have recognized Christine Willes as Delores Herbig... "As in her big brown eyes!" playing the part of the soul deposit collector at the DMV.
On the other side Sam's sisters boyfriend/finance seemed to be a shallowly developed character and unless changes happen, he is destined for early removal from show.
