This series is so bad, that it gets too a point where it gets so cringy that it's addictive. You want to see the next ridiculous thing.
The plot is quite frankly ridiculous. The twists make no sense. And the basic premise is just laughable. The characters are super unrealistic, dumb decisions, the dumbest human beings are represented in the characters.
The acting, OMG. Either not enough or too much. The lead characters are terrible. Perhaps Samantha, Tomas and Irene put on a good performance but their characters are so stupidly designed that their work gets frustrated.
I cringe every episode, so much that I feel I need to see the next stupid thing they come up with.

Over 30 years waiting for a worthy sequel to the Ghostbusters franchise.
While I can't say that the wait was worth it, because 30 years is just way too long for anything, the movie itself doesn't disappoint.
This is a movie with a lot of fan service, but it is done in a way that it just works with the story.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife IS the perfect sequel in the Ghostbusters universe and although it may not be the perfect movie for movie critics (whatever is for those guys anyway? Just boring technically complex B&W movies), it just works on so many levels that it is hard to leave the theater unsatisfied, and not thinking: "Yes, this is how it should end, and how it should begin."
The movie is full of nostalgia, references to the previous movies and small details only true Ghostbusters fans will notice, but what makes it work is that it doesn't lose itself around those things.
The script is very well balanced with enough old stuff that explains where everything comes from so that people who have never seen a Ghostbusters movie understand what's happening and enough new stuff to keep everyone interested in the direction the new story will go forward.
Perhaps I would have liked to see more screen time from the old Ghostbusters, but again, it just works with the story. It feels natural, and what you get is enough to close the old Ghostbusters book for good. Personally, I'm satisfied.
The new story, well... it is a new story, and this is but an introduction with a lot of potential for where the Ghostbusters franchise can go in the future. Hopefully, we won't have to wait another 32 years for the franchise to go on.
In summary, a very well-known story with enough new elements to make a movie that feels fresh and alive on its own, a satisfying ending for a story that began almost 40 years ago, and an introduction to a new chapter that seems to have good potential for keeping the franchise alive for decades if they play ir right.
Most importantly, 2016 Ghostbusters, never happened.
