Reaper
Series about a slacker who finds out on his 21st birthday that his parents sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his fathers life.
now he has to work for the devil as a bounty hunter. Returning escaped souls to hell.I've only watched 2 episodes, but it seems quite good fun. The characters are well acted and generally likable, especially his dim best friend Sock. Not sure how it'll stretch over an entire series or two, but am willing to give it a go for now.

Alias
The trials and tribulations of a female CIA operative.
Only watched one episode of this... but it seems well drawn (and Jennifer Garner is nice to watch
) Its also novel to watch something with a strong female lead. I've heard from various people that it remains good throughout the series, so I'm quite looking forward to seeing how it pans out.
