Buffy 2: The Hellmouth Strikes Back? Due to the supernatural element of the show and its deft mix of horror and lighthearted comedy, "Reaper" has been compared to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" by critics and couch potatoes alike.

The two new TV shows premiering Tuesday: ''Reaper'' What: A sci-fi/comedy about a bounty hunter for Satan who's bedeviled by his new job.

The title is a bit of a head-scratcher but the message is unmistakable. Writer-director Paul Haggis couldn't have made it more clear if he'd blared it from a bullhorn - and in the film's final image, he practically does.

Quentin Tarantino would love ''Illegal Tender'': drug deals gone wrong, sassy Latina assassins in leopard-print pants, shootouts in suburbia and a buxom, pistol-packing mom at the center of it all.

For the first 20 years of his life, Sam (Bret Harrison, The Loop, Grounded for Life) wondered why his parents went so easy on him. Whether it was school, sports or career choices, Sam's mom (Allison Hossack, "Falcon Beach") and dad (Andrew Airlie, The L Word) always let him get by with the least possible effort.

After the gangsters who killed his father come to settle a score, a teenage boy and his mother turn the tables on the killers. Producer John Singleton (Four Brothers, Hustle & Flow) and writer/director Franc Reyes (Empire) join forces to tell the story of one Latino family's quest for honor and revenge as the hunted become the hunters in the new thriller Illegal Tender.
