This show is a lot of things.
Objectively, it's not that well written. It's soapy, sappy dialogue, every other episode has a deus ex machina, and it's all so. Very. Sanitised. Considering that the basic premise is about death and unfinished business it is remarkably light and airy watching. It's the skimmed milk of mid-00's supernatural TV shows.
Subjectively, I find Jlove so sweet and charming it almost makes up for it. That, alongside some really strong guest performances and ghost concepts are intriguing enough to carry entire episodes imo. If you're happy to get on board with something on that basis I'd say it's definitely worth a shot.
I feel like it was targeted at fans of other 90's-00's supernatural staples: X-Files, Charmed, Buffy, Supernatural etc, but for more casual watching. Good for when you have that taste but fancy something mild. It's got the vibe without so much of the edge or complexity.
I was surprised at myself for liking it as much as I did tbh. It's kinda trash, but consider me a happy little racoon.
