The Surrealtor

I'm a totally whimp when it comes to ghosts of anything and don't go out of my way to watch but i figured a ctv show...it coukdnt be that bad. It's not. Some creepy parts and some cheesy but i like it. Its mixed with dry humor as well so that helps. In no way a serious show. It has great potential. 4 epis out now and the acting is getting better every episode.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this fairly well done despite its low budget. Most of the episodes barring one maybe two, are gripping, capturing the imagination of the audience, leading them on.

The ghosts though arent convincing enough, looking and feeling like actors playing the part. The dearth of effects and cgi perhaps telling, but it does impress with its eerie atmosphere that it creates. The office, or contemporary corporate setting set in stark contrast with the supernatural 'tickles' the audience's imagination.

The acting is good and the characters are well fleshed making the viewers feel for them and relate to them, though I hope they will deploy various other characters from ancient and modern folklore in future as the show progresses to more seasons.

If your into spooky stuff, this is a great show. It is well cast, I like the story lines, some have said they are lacking a bit but you can only fit so much into 42 mins. What I really like is that it, like Supernatural, is funny, dramatic, and kind of scary at times. While I admit it will probably never reach the heights of Supernatural, I really don't think the creators and writers wanted it to. It is it's own show and if you have not watched it, give it a try, if you liked Supernatural, you will like this as is, it's own show that can't possibly be confused with the other show. Just my opinion but I really hope the network gives it a second, longer season. The ratings will go up.

There is some great dry humour in this show. I feel like it could definitely go somewhere interesting!

The pilot was not bad. But, I'm giving the show a few more times to see if I really like it. I miss Warehouse 13 that was on several years ago. I hope SYFY has a hit series. A lot of good shows are getting canceled on other networks.
