    Totally disappointed by this series. I had expected it to be more about the supernatural and less akin to a typical TV drama/romance premise,Totally disappointed by this series. I had expected it to be more about the supernatural and less akin to a typical TV drama/romance premise, so I was unpleasantly surprised when that was discovered. I managed to get through the 1st episode but couldn't go further.

It is, technically, but the show is definitely more about relationships, dealing with difficult emotions, letting yourself be vulnerable enough to connect with others, accepting people in their imperfections, etc. That said, the supernatural part is done quite well, and complements the deeper meanings of the show.

This role allows Josh Gad to show his range, playing a real person, as the lead, not just as comic relief, and it is both surprising and impressive. And Isla Fisher-- wow. She is engaging and compelling, emotionally versatile and agile. She pulls in the viewer with her character's humor and vulnerability. This is some of her best work. The actor who plays the daughter, Ariel Donoghue, was another impressive surprise throughout, with the finale, especially though, really showing off her acting skills.

    The show does a good job delving into the more authentic parts of loving other people, and the characters and the actors really shine in this effort. You will find yourself hurting for their characters, then laughing, then tearing up (and wanting to hug all three of their characters) at various times throughout. Then the ending pulls it all together. No spoilers, but I finished the last episode grateful I had binge-watched this uniquely done show.    … Full Review »
