YMMV / Ghosted

• Broken Base:
  • 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 awesome?
  • The failure of the Max/Annie romance. A much-needed end to an awkward and focus-stealing subplot and a refreshing twist on the Will They or Won't They? cliche? Or an abrupt and 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.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Critics and audiences alike are generally big fans of Barry.
• Harsher in Hindsight: When discussing The Multiverse, Leroy mentions he thinks their universe has the best Kevin Spacey and voices his appreciation for the actor. Ghosted premiered shortly before the sexual harassment allegations about Spacey had become very public.
• So Okay, It's Average: The show was never quite able to completely find its footing, and mostly coasted on the talents of its two leads. (The half-hour timeslot didn't help, meaning the stories weren't as fleshed out as they could have been.) Whether the late series Retool was an improvement or a step backward is a topic of contention.
• Strangled by the Red String: The Max/Annie Ship Tease 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.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The retool completely changed the look and feel of the show, causing a massive polarization within the fanbase between those who believed this and those who saw it as a case of the show finally Growing the Beard.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
  • Despite being billed as one of the co-leads, Leroy is shoved into the background more often than not.
  • Pretty much every character introduced in the post-retool episodes could count, considering there's hardly any time for any of them to firmly establish their personality.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: It is generally agreed that the series mostly squandered the premise of "Adam Scott and Craig Robinson as paranormal investigators".
