It starred Bret Harrison, Tyler Labine, and Missy Peregrym, and with Ray Wise in the role of Satan.Meet Sam Oliver. He's a college drop-out working at the Work Bench with his two best friends, Ben and Sock, and the woman who he's had a crush on since high school, Andi. Then he turns twenty-one and learns that his parents accidentally sold his soul to the Devil before he was born. Now he has to work for the Devil as a bounty hunter for escaped souls.One could call it a comedic Spiritual Successor to Brimstone.The show was cancelled after the second season. There were talks to continue the series as a comic book, though nothing seems to have materialized on that front.

Presumably in order to make way for Season 3, the Diabolus is employed: picking up on some rather vague hanging plot threads, an angel comes out of nowhere and ruins everything by breaking Sam's hand. And then the show got canceled.

Reaper / int_22ecc839	comment	Kryptonite Factor: The Devil seems nearly omnipotent but has some weaknesses that even humans can exploit (although, Magnificent Bastard that he is, any or all of these could be carefully disseminated disinformation). Most notably, he cannot enter a circle without an invitation (he has to enter through corners) nor can he see or hear anything that goes on inside. He can also be killed by the sword of the Archangel Michael, though he has that safely hidden away. He is also weakened when people, humans or demons, do good deeds. It's stated that if they had not been killed, Steve's group of rebel demons would have successfully defeated the Devil in 400 years or so by doing good deeds. For a being that existed long before Earth was created, that probably seemed like a very immediate threat.

The boys get away with dumping the kid off on Tony who is apparently a natural parent (as all gay demons are bound to be), but this only works for so long as The Devil wants the baby's soul in Purgatory, and it's generally a bad idea to take things back from demons.

However, the devil also occasionally screws with Sam's life just for the hell of it, and he can't say anything about it to the girl he really loves since it would jeopardize her ownership of her own soul.

Reaper / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: The Devil, in "Rebellion," is revealed to have set Sam, Sock, and Ben in their new apartment next door to two demons who happen to be members of a demonic underground dedicated to fighting the Devil with goodness. Because of Sam's special relationship with the Devil, the demons devise a plan to trap the Devil and kill him: which is just what the Devil wants. He kills all the demons in the rebellion (except for one), because the goodness plan would have eventually worked in about 400 years. What's more: The Devil left a series of clues that he easily could have avoided. Giving them gifts meant for the escaped soul that Sam is chasing, and putting his own name on the lease are the big ones. This allows Ben to figure out what's going on exactly one moment too late to stop it.

Come the second season, this plot device is abandoned, and the characters never bother to draw a circle even when discussing something they wouldn't want the Devil to know about.

The condition of his release is that he is forbidden to sin again or he goes directly back to Hell. The problem with this is that he's a gambling addict and gambling is a sin. He eventually ends up back in Hell when the devil arranges for his plane to be grounded in Las Vegas.

Reaper / int_b1dde8fd	comment	Loophole Abuse: In The Cop, the detective sells his soul for catching five high profile killers. Satan then turns around and gives him four and the fifth ends up with the detective shooting himself since he failed to specify what he meant by catch thoroughly enough. Satan admits it was a little sneaky. Used against the devil himself in one episode where a man makes a deal for all the material wealth he wants but refuses to sign the contract for his soul. The man argues that he doesn't have to sign the contract with the devil since he's under no obligation to sign it until the devil's side of the bargain is fulfilled; which logically means the devil cannot have his soul until he says so (which will be never). Sam angrily argues that the mans blatant materialism and endless greed will inevitably condemn the mans soul to hell anyway. The man agrees that Sam has a point but states he plans on repenting at the eleventh hour (a loophole the Devil himself claims does actually work). The Devil responds by trying to kill the man since he's under no obligation not to do so (since the clause preventing the mans early death would only count if the man signed the contract). The man then proceeds to simply repent on the spot and sell all of his material possessions; meaning the devil would have to trick him again to claim his soul. The Devil gives up and decides to not go after him after that, since the man is clearly more trouble than he's worth. But not before punishing Sam since it was his job to get the contract signed in the first place.

Not to mention how frequently Sam trusts Sock, of all people, with aspects of his job. Sam's parents are the worst of the whole bunch for thinking they could trick the DEVIL. You didn't honestly expect the Prince of Lies to play fair did you? Sam announcing to the escaped souls that he's a bounty hunter. Because, you know, element of surprise is overrated. Alan Townsend, if only for the fact that his plan to fly to Vatican City to be protected from The Devil clearly didn't factor in the several hours that The Devil would have to get to him while he was on the plane.

One episode deals with a soul of an assassin named Léon. The assassin is named after the actual assassin of President Mckinley, Leon Czolgosz, making this more of a historical in-joke. In one second-season episode, The Devil mentions having contracted an advertising agency to improve Hell's image. This mirrors the plot of The Hades Business, a short story by Terry Pratchett, which was the first thing Pratchett ever published. (The story is collected in A Blink of the Screen.)

Reaper / int_d81704b6	comment	Flirty Stepsiblings: In season 2, Sock finds out that his mom had gotten remarried to a Japanese man and he now has a stepsister. A noticeably attractive stepsister with no personal boundaries. Their interaction is then played for laughs. They eventually do have sex, but then her dad finds out, hits him over the head and sends her back to Japan.

Reaper / int_db2f3581	type	All Girls Want Bad Boys
Reaper / int_db2f3581	comment	All Girls Want Bad Boys: The show plays with this trope with Nina. She's a demon, so as she says herself for one thing she can't help but be a little attracted to evil, and for another 'bad boys' are what she's used to by default. She's initially attracted to Ben because of his caring nature, but is put off a little when he gets too clingy. She even lampshades the trope, saying bad boys "treat you like crap, but at least it's exciting". She eventually decides to go back to Ben, but kisses Sam after being attracted to the dark side she thinks he has from being the Devil's son. This later comes back when Nina seems attracted to Morgan, but this turns out to be a ruse so she can lure Morgan to a group of demons so she can kill him.
