It earned strong reviews (80% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans. If you loved Ash vs Evil Dead, start here.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 15 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Kevin Pacalioglu may have no money and no clue, but he can see dead people, so that’s pretty cool. Faced with a constant stream of stubborn spirits, Pac goes to whatever lengths require the least amount of effort to help New York City’s most frivolous ghosts finish their unfinished business, occasionally with the help of his best friend and drug dealer, Roofie.
