Ghost Wars

Melodramatic! Ominous! Almost monochromatic! Acting *way* over the top! ...but for some reason, it works! I'm digging it!

Just ep 1, so far, but I'm definitely sticking around to see how this story unfolds. It won't be in the top ten of anyone's list, but it entertains - and that's the main hurdle, eh?

A big plus, who can resist anything that Vincent D'Onofrio is in?! Big fan since "Full Metal Jacket", Private Pyle! Good actor.

...and Meatloaf?! Almost a god, and I'm glad he's still entertaining us!

The first episode had me thinking if I wanted to continue watching or not, but I kept watching and it is one of syfy channel's best shows in the past several years. It can be eerie and sometimes genuinely scary. The setting on the island is perfect. I highly encourage you to give it a chance. I am really enjoying it.

Just when I thought the SyFy channel was going under, they found two things that captured me and my heart. First was bringing back Futurama. That's one of my fav shows. Second is Ghost Wars- this is a fantastic show! I binge watched when I found it, the week of Thanksgiving, and once I caught up I was angered that I had to go by the weekly watch. The first episode aired on October 5, 2017, telling of a small town with strange goings on. It's also about a guy named Roman Mercer, who has a special talent, or gift. He sees and talks to ghosts. Something that that's pretty handy, considering he can save lives. But these are no normal ghosts- they're killer!

I think I enjoyed it so much, due to the cast. Kim Coates, Vincent D'Onofrio, Avan Jogia, Kandyse McClure and even Meatloaf! Great acting helped, but the story is what captured me. It's simply one of those bad luck towns, like out of a King novel, that is truly in the wrong location The story is creepy, spooky and without many dead spots. I couldn't help but get hooked- watching seven episodes back to back to back!

From what I understand, the ratings weren't very high, but with some luck, season 2 will make it through! Cheers!

I have to be honest here. I hesitated, even reading a description of this series, based solely on my impression of the title.

Ghost Wars... Upon reading the title, I automatically assumed it was just another reality-based ghost hunter television show.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Its really well written, and the cast was superb. And despite the title fail, I've really enjoyed watching this series.

8/10
