Ghost Wars

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

karim_dj2004 Hope they will make second season but I heard it's canceled , I loved this Series

michael-81380 The narrative and characters develop well, and the initial slow pacing becomes satisfyingly appropriate after about 5 episodes. The cinematography is competent. The music, a magpie mix of new riffs on classical themes and actual classical classics, carries this a fair bit. It sets the mood well and provides a surprisingly sturdy spine. It's oddly juvenile and disjointed, and I can't decide whether that is intentional or the product of a talent that is not yet fully fledged.

theblabla245 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.

phane The story line is good, the acting is somewhat good but I keep count of the amount of time I saw the decors move. Painfully obvious that the walls are made of cardboard, you can see the church wall moving when they install the lights, that turbine was shaking like hell when they were cleaning it... It makes everything look fake.
