Ghosted

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.

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.

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.

The way this show was handled is an enigma. It started as a funny spoof of sci-fi series with inventive and funny scenarios. Then, after episode 9, out of the blue, the show became mediocre. It started following a complicated uninteresting plot, the jokes disappeared and the authors also killed the vibe between the main characters. Adam Scott and Craig Robinson are very capable actors, brilliant comedians, their chemistry was promising but it all disappeared. I don't know if the total change of orientation of the show is due to the brilliant mind of a marketing genius, or any other studio executives, or if for an unknown reason the writers resigned, but this move killed a perfectly viable show. I don't remember seeing anything like that before: a show going from very good to totally rotten in a snap. I'd be curious to know what happened. Anyway this is too bad.

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!
