Bad writing coupled with worse effects will leave you wanting more! This show is great for a laugh especially when high or drunk. The ensemble has no chemistry to speak of... And you just know the actors were roped into it because they had bills to pay. Saving grace? If you want something playing in the background while washing dishes or planting weed or cooking transfat, this is the show for you. You can skip whole sequences in an episode or pay careful attention and it still won't make a difference because the plot points makes no sense whatsoever. BUT if they make a season 2, I sincerely hope it's as godawful as this one because one can always use a good laugh, right?

So the first episode is HORRIBLE. It drags on, there are random scenes just thrown in there, writing was bad. But, as others have pointed out, it does get better after the first episode...Not by much. We are thrown into this weird execution of telling a story which is vastly unnecessary. It's sort of like building a puzzle with the first few. Episode 1 follows Roman were an earthquake hits and afterwards all the ghost go nuts. Episode 2 follows Billie where we see more answers. Episode 3 follows this scientists girl, more answers are revealed. Around Episode 5 it just ditches this whole way of telling the story and instead takes the normal execution tv shows take. (We see through the viewpoints of multiple characters instead of just one.) I just seen this as unneeded to jump between different view points like this.Camera angles are concerning. Half the time we don't even see the actors faces or else too far away to make much out. It takes you out of the story when two people are having a dramatic conversation but all you see is the backs of their head.Technical aside, the writing and acting are iffy. Acting, mediocre. Some of them, bravo. They do a good job. Others...Not so much. The writing though is what gets me. Episode 1 everyone is 100% against this ghost thing. They think Roman is nuts. No ghosts, blah blah, who would believe in ghosts, bla bla. Then, moths (yes MOTHS) flood the bar and everyone is like "Omg the town is plagued by ghosts! Roman! Roman you have to help us! Please! There is ghosts!" (I mean, the two cops weren't even at the bar. They had 0 interactions with what happened and even they went from not believing ghosts and hating Roman to almost crapping themselves at the word ghost and worshipping Roman.) During half the show, we see people being picked off like fish in a barrel. Then suddenly electricity scares the ghosts...One person died around power tools, another died in a fully functional laboratory. Ghosts all over the place even though the electricity is on but then half way through it is like "oh they can't be around power cause the electricity messes with them." I mean, why did we jump from people not being safe at an electric company to suddenly a flashlight being enough to scare the ghosts off and keep you safe? One scene the people hid under ONE lamppost and the ghosts couldn't get to them despite the previous day, killing someone in a house with all the lights and appliances running.The idea is amazing. Great, original, round of applause for the people who came up with it but the way they went about it was wrong. They struggle with continuity as well as making believable reactions and character emotions.

Soft spoilers without giving away anything of the actual story.The story is compelling and exciting to watch, great job there.
The end however ruins a lot. Too many questions left unanswered, quite anti-climatic, there's quite a logic gap as well and the main character seems to act out of character.Besides of that: 6/10 stars. If the ending wasn't as...well bad as it is it would be a 9.
