The highly pleasurable Ghosted does nothing new. But what it does it does well.
The script is loose, chatty and casual, but it’s the chemistry between Scott and Robinson that seals the deal on the comedy.
Like other Fox comedies, it’s quirky and brash, and decidedly not for young viewers, but it does have an underlying sweetness.
Actually, Ghosted isn't all that bad, even if satirizing The X-Files feels a little bit wet-noodley at this point.
Scott and Robinson are great comic actors and you can already see the start of their chemistry. They're both playing parts that are well within their comfort zones and the '80s genre craziness around them should fit their sensibilities. Eventually. I don't know if Ghosted wants to be more sci-fi/comedy or horror/comedy, but the non-comedy genre registers very weakly so far.
It occurs to me that Ghosted hasn’t had a successful test of its equipment. Blame retooling and a packed-to-bursting script for a pilot that’s startlingly low on laughs, but the moments of zippy comic friction between Scott and Robinson are indications that there’s no sense in worrying about it now.
The jokes are flat (or absent), and the chemistry between the two men is regrettably nonexistent. Needs more “Scooby-Doo” and less “X-Files,” perhaps.
