Ghosted --Fox-US Pace (***Spoilers***)

Agent Coulson

The pilot has been released early it's on Hulu and Fox.

The series starts October 1st.

Adam Scott and Craig Robinson are recruited to investigate paranormal activity in Los Angeles.

Mr E

Pretty awful - I didn't even crack a smile.
The 2 leads are very talented actors and deserve better than this.

Basq

3 episodes in and it's definitely starting to find it's feet.. especially after the end of the latest episode gave us some meaty plot details going forward and giving us some solid comedic moments while it was at it.

For those who don't know what it is - it stars the excellent Adam Scott, the reliable Craig Robinson and Utopia's Adeel Akhtar and plot is as follows:

Former missing persons detective Leroy Wright is a skeptic who doesn't believe aliens exist, unlike true believer Max Jennifer, who is convinced his wife was abducted by such beings. Against all odds, the two find themselves forced to work with each other when, at low points in their lives, they are both recruited by Capt. Ava Lafrey, a take-no-prisoners former Air Force test pilot and head of the Bureau Underground, a secret government organization investigating paranormal cases. Lafrey and her staff support Leroy and Max as they look into unexplained activity and keep Earth safe.

First episode or two is a bit goofy but the third balanced some drama and comedy perfectly.

Could be excellent if Fox let's it run for it's full season.

Mitch Connor

every line of that synopsis made it sound worse than the previous one.

Mr E

Threads merged. Must give it another go (if you say it improves, Basq). The pilot left me cold.

Basq

^ Sorry Dave.. did a quick search and didn't spot it.

As I've said before, I rarely judge solely on pilots for comedies.. too many bad comedy pilots became great shows.

But yeah, after giving this a few episodes.. the comedy is still a little more miss than hit, but it's getting better.

Is this a spoof of X Files?

Basq

^ Not really.. not a spoof so to speak.

It's reminiscent of The X-Files in that there's an obvious pattern to having both MoTW ("Monster of The Week") episodes as well as episodes that could have a slightly more dramatic tone advancing continuing storylines elsewhere.

6 more episodes ordered and Paul Lieberstein (The Office) is new showrunner
