Season 1 Review: The highly pleasurable Ghosted does nothing new. But what it does it does well. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonSep 28, 2017
Season 1 Review: All the sci-fi intrigue and alien high jinks will give them [Adam Scott and Craig Robinson] plenty of material. But it’s really only window dressing for their comedy, which in the weeks to come could be out of this world. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandSep 28, 2017
Season 1 Review: The script is loose, chatty and casual, but it’s the chemistry between Scott and Robinson that seals the deal on the comedy. Read full review

IndieWireBen TraversSep 26, 2017
Season 1 Review: Ghosted could be a very basic case-of-the-week comedy with a few casual laughs, or it could streamline itself into a wild, conspiratorial buddy cop laugh riot. Its stars could certainly sustain either, but only one option would truly be worth recommending. The zanier Ghosted gets, the better. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichSep 25, 2017
Season 1 Review: It could use more laughs, less hand-me-down mythology. Scott and Robinson have a good odd-couple chemistry and the John Carpenter-y synth soundtrack is just right. [29 Sep, 2017, p.55]

The New York TimesMargaret LyonsOct 11, 2017
Season 1 Review: Like other Fox comedies, it’s quirky and brash, and decidedly not for young viewers, but it does have an underlying sweetness. Read full review

VarietySonia SaraiyaSep 28, 2017
Season 1 Review: Based on just the pilot, the single-cam has a nice, escapist little atmosphere with elements of horror; it’s hard to tell if that will be enough to sustain it. But fans of both comedians--and fans of spoofs--will likely find enough to keep them amused with Ghosted. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Actually, Ghosted isn't all that bad, even if satirizing The X-Files feels a little bit wet-noodley at this point. Read full review

NewsdayDiane WertsSep 29, 2017
Season 1 Review: The supernatural action unfolds through special effects like some live-action cartoon, with maybe-aliens literally losing their heads. That matches their Fox Sunday night surroundings--but with sneaky bits of sentiment sprinkled in. Read full review
