Kevin Pacalioglu (played by the infinitely likeable Tyler Labine), is definitely not your average New Yorker. "Pac," as he's known, is rather clueless, and definitely short on money, but he does have a gift that sets him apart -- he sees dead people. And talks to them. And tries to help them resolve their unfinished issues, though he readily admits there's not a lot of money to be made in helping ghosts. A stay in jail introduces Pac to Clyde Shapiro, an equally unambitious resident of Brooklyn, who allows Pac to share his apartment. Once he learns Pac's secret, though, he eagerly offers to help Pac use his gift to make money.

Despite its obvious flaws, Hulu's latest is a pleasant enough distraction, a casually engaging time filler with heaps of potential. Go to Full Review Neil Drumming Salon.com 04/09/2014
The show takes two tropes with which we are all extremely familiar - the slacker comedy and the avenging ghost - and lowers the stakes. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer 04/09/2014
It's crass, and often trespasses on racially or sexually offensive territory. But if your sense of humor has a strong adolescent streak, then buddy, your raft just slammed into the dock. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 02/06/2019
The show constantly walks the line between relatable and bizarre, like a less relationship-focused Man Seeking Woman. However, it's a show that's not afraid to go dumb and just have fun. Go to Full Review Glen Tickle The Mary Sue 02/06/2019
The comedy of the show plays really well, and the tone is more like an R-rated movie than a typical TV show, which is one of the advantages of online original content. Go to Full Review Tom Conroy Media Life 04/29/2014
A quirky comic sensibility emerges, albeit slowly. Viewers who give the series a few chances will eventually get it and have fun. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cailin 01/04/2025 Hilarious & weirdly relatable in a lot of ways, not for everyone, but definitely for me. It had me laughing so loudly at times I think my neighbors could hear. See more Dead I 11/29/2024 Im super happy this show found me. LoL I love it. Quirky, fun and Creepy. What's not to dig? And now, back to the binge. 🤘🤘🪦 See more Tina K 09/26/2024 I just started watching this new-to-me show - it's funny and clever! The humor reminds me of the U.S. and U.K. versions of the 'Ghosts' series, and 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.' If you like those shows, you'll likely enjoy this series. See more 04/28/2017 A great show with a funny cast and an idea that was spun in a hilarious way :) See more 09/04/2016 Very Funny series but the villain is too over the top and annoying at times. Still would recommend it. See more 08/09/2015 It's like a cross between The Medium and Reaper with copious amounts of Psyc thrown in. I always wanted to see this actor do better since Reaper was canceled, and it would seem he has. See more Read all reviews
