** The ShipSinking of the Max/Annie romance. A much-needed end to an awkward and [[StrangledByTheRedString focus-stealing]] subplot and a refreshing twist on the WillTheyOrWontThey cliche? Or an abrupt and [[DerailingLoveInterests out of character]] resolution that casts both characters in a needlessly bad light? There also lies a third camp of people who, despite not caring about the relationship, are upset by its end due to the resolution causing the entire subplot to become pointless in hindsight.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The show was never quite able to completely find its footing, and mostly coasted on the talents of its two leads. Whether the late series {{Retool}} was [[GrowingTheBeard an improvement]] or [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks a step backward]] is a topic of contention.

* BrokenBase: Which version of the show was better? The action-comedy pre-retool episodes that focused heavily on the paranormal? Or the more conventional workplace comedy post-retool episodes that placed more emphasis on character interactions? Were both versions of the show complete messes, or was one or both of them TooGoodToLast?

* HarsherInHindsight: When discussing TheMultiverse, Leroy mentions he thinks their universe has the best Creator/KevinSpacey and voices his appreciation for the actor. ''Ghosted'' premiered shortly before the sexual harassment allegations about Spacey become very public.

Added DiffLines:

* StrangledByTheRedString: The Max/Annie ShipTease is accused of this by several people, who argue that the chemistry between their actors is unconvincing. Others believe that it began too early and took up too much screentime, resulting in the Max/Leroy friendship, ostensibly the show's center, to not get properly developed.
