This series is a modern style counter to the brilliant classic show missing without a trace.

The lead actress is wonderful here. Real and believable, tragic background and a zealous commitment. She's batman. Overall it's cute and kitschy. They have to include elements of trauma,The show is on citytv so struggle to see why so many reviews are negative. This is not Scorsese. Anyhow excited to see more. Only watched the first 4 episodes so far. But it's promising with hinted overall season plot being suitably big. It is a light watch, no heavy contemplative viewing attention required. Decent pacing episodic feel good content.

The show has a nifty premise, journalist writing obituaries sees ghosts. Lead is well portrayed by Gina Rodriguez and the ensemble after episode 2 is comfortably diverse and work well together. Liked it quite a lot so far. Direct comedy is a bit mid but the situational is great. These are adults navigating life and finding themselves, very fun to watch. Best part is of course Cece from New Girl. In terms of its ghost of the week format i do not see much potential for the story line to change so doubt if it will be a mutli season show. The characters have a broad life and there is room for so much more than the theme to be shown. Gina has a fun delivery in the lead and is so relatable for someone adjusting to a new life like her ghost friends.

The first episode despite some getting there acting was full of intrigue and scifi mystery. This is a fair entry into depicting a sciencyfantasy world.i must say the other reviewers are immediately comparing it to star trek but when star trek first came out there no star trek to compare against. its has room to improve mostly in the fx department. acting is okay they look mostly inexperience/ but the mystery behind the first episode if sufficiently unique to draw me in for further episodes. In sci fi a critical defining aspect is the creativity in story and there is plenty here. good luck Pandora.
