Just watched the first episode and I gotta say it's pretty entertaining, nothing great but does not try to. It's like a funny version on X-Flies, the pairing of Craig Robinson and Adam Scott is what makes the show fun, they're an odd couple and have great comic chemistry, the two start in the dreadfully unfunny Hot Tub Time Machine 2(2015).

The effects are good on a T.V. budget. Everybody here plays it perfectly straight next to the comedy of Robinson and Scott. The show has a Ghostbusters and Men in Black like feel to it, I hope it goes for 3 or 4 seasons, the show never takes itself too seriously, and that is the enjoyment of it.

It seems like the show was originally 10 episodes, but for some reason they decided to force 6 really bad wannabe The Office episodes in before the finale.

Episode 16 appears to pick up where episode 9 ended, with none of the previous 6 episodes seemingly having affected the storyline whatsoever.

Episodes 10-15 also introduced a bunch of characters that are gone again in the finale.

Initially, the series began with an interesting storyline, funny, relatable characters and decent enough cinematography. The, June arrived with the second half of the season. It's format, along with the storyline came to a complete stand still and major change! It was like it became a different show! It went from something like a funny X-files spoof, a little MIB humor, and changed to a dark, dreary wannabe "The Office" type of show and the quality is the same! Yes, it worked for the office, not for this show at all! So far, the last three episodes half been filmed almost entirely within the office!!! I haven't researched whether or not there have been some changes in production, writing or directing, but SOMETHING MAJOR happened! Whatever it was doomed a show that honestly had potential!

You know i actually thought this show had potential. The first nine episodes are actually entertaining, being the "sam" episode the best of the bunch. Nothing really out of the box, but i did had fun while watching it. I think they were onto something, also because i did enjoy the major plotlines they were building.

Then they changed screenwriter, the show stopped for some months...and when it came back it was just awful. They put new characters that were unfunny and boring, they decided to change totally the plotline and to forget all the past archs...."the wire" episode is still ok, the other are just almost unwatchable. Its just..why?

At the last episode they realized they did a big mistake, so they put everything back in. So episode 16 follows again the stories the show abandoned and lets go of those boring secundary characters. Unfortunately it was too late.

Too bad, this could have been a cool tv show if they gave time for the plot and the characters to develop. When they decided to give it to a new screenwriter it was when the show ended. Still the first 10 episodes are fine, then skip the show until episode 16.

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
