Ghosted

Two very different minds end up partnering to tackle the city's oddest cases. One is a grounded skeptic who keeps everything on a logical leash, while the other is a die hard believer in the supernatural who swears by signs and spirits. When a series of unexplained happenings pulls them into the heart of Los Angeles, they are forced to work together despite clashing methods and stubborn pride. The setup plays out with snappy banter, urban humor, and a buddy dynamic that leans into the clash between science and superstition. What starts as a dare turns into a mess of strange phenomena, oddball clues, and surprising teamwork. The partners test patience and earn respect with brisk pacing.

Created by Tom Gormican, Ghosted premiered on Fox in 2017 as a light hearted buddy comedy starring Craig Robinson and Adam Scott with Amber Stevens West and Ally Walker. It is an original concept with no source material behind it.

Reception notes that the show blends paranormal humor with workplace satire, often relying on fast dialogue and a dynamic contrast between skepticism and belief. The humor lands when the duo bounces off each other, while LA provides a breezy backdrop. The cast brings breezy energy that keeps the tone light.

Though it didn't spark lasting cultural moments, Ghosted mirrors a era of TV parodies of ghost hunting and urban legends. It nods to classic paranormal comedies but keeps its own twang. It uses familiar tropes to lampoon belief systems, media hype, and the appeal of the paranormal in modern life.

The series did not receive major nominations or wins. While the ensemble earned praise for chemistry and timing, Ghosted did not gain nominations from major ceremonies during its single season. Some critics highlighted the performances of Craig Robinson and Adam Scott as a bright spot.
