The episodes up to Episode 9 were perfection. Not sure what happened after that but it's like the joyful soul of the show was snatched away. After Episode 9, I'm not sad that this show was cancelled. If the events had gone differently, I would've been down for the ride. It's like they hired the writers of "Hello, Ladies" after Episode 9 or something.

The show was cute at the start then they had like a change mid season and brought in a bigger cast to make it more of an ensemble comedy. They added some really talented comedic actors and the show just needed a little time to come into its own. They also change the way the show was shot. It started out shot with regular sit-com style camera work, then went to like a POV type camera shots like the show the office. This really comes out when binge watching. Lastly if you watch on HuLu episode 16 is out of order. Based on content, cast, and story line I think it should have been episode 2. So 15 should have been the last episode.

just after watching last night I will say t5hat this show wasn't designed for everyone but a particular type of audience 'I am that type of audience' if you don't like semi kid like humor than don't watch if you don't like gross out gags don't watch if you hate Craig Robbinson DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW YOU WILL WAIST YOUR TIME but on the flip side if you like childlike funny syfy comedies with well known and hilarious black comedians this is for you like it was for me and my brother it was not overly dirty which is always a plus and it was still very enjoyable I say definitely try ghosted

They started out as essentially a parody of The X-Files, doing a comedic monster of the week until Episode 10.

Then, when that didn't do well, not only did they go off the air for more than 6 months, (they actually went off the air after Episode 9), but they also got a new Showrunner, in Paul Lieberstein, who played Toby on The Office (US), (he is also Creator of The Office (US) Greg Daniels' brother-in-law in real life), and ran that show from Season 5 to Season 8.

He took over, and from Episode 11 to Episode 15, it was essentially The Office or Parks and Recreation, (or a show like those), except in a show that started out as a wasted The X-Files parody.

It also changed the plot a bit, with them obviously being unable to do a monster of the week thing, (at least, they couldn't have done it well.) Paul decided that the best plot would be for them to sit in an office all day, being boring and unfunny, worrying about how their office was bugged. There was even a whole episode trying to find, and follow, the wire.

Which, was so bad that it was funny, so I guess there could be some fake points, or something, there.

Then, the last episode? It's like the first half again. After a solid ending to Episode 15, me being kind of sort of hyped up for the series again, they switch the style YET AGAIN, and essentially leave that storyline unresolved. (But, they do answer another storyline, in the last episode/series finale episode, sort of.) I'm not sure if this was an episode from before Paul came on, or if he just wanted to have the series (he probably thought season at the time, if he did do this) finale episode be like the first half of the season, but either way it's confusing and annoying.

There. It's not a full on review, but I feel like semi-thoroughly explaing how this series changed it's style halfway through, is enough, lol!

Thanks for reading, if you did, lol!

I like Adam Scott & Craig Anderson. Enough to overlook most of the flaws this show has.

But, it doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. It's just plain fun, nothing more. The paranormal stuff is kinda OK, but the show could be about anything and it would still work with those two.

Imagine a show about two average (but funny) guys gardening, shooting hoops, knitting camping or whatever. It would still be funny with Craig and Adam. The producers could've let them sit on a couple of toilet seats in booths next to each other and it would still work.

Not much else to say, really. If you like the two and their comedic chemistry then it should work for you. If you don't then that's that. 5.5/10
