Reception

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 100% approval rating with an average rating of 7.7/10, based on 13 critic reviews.[31] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 71 out of 100 based on 8 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[32]

Daniel Fienberg, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, said of the series that "It’s a thin series that in its first three episodes has already wasted too much time establishing and reestablishing its premise, full of loosely sketched characters that are already wearing thin". Feinberg also criticizes some characters but praises McIver's acting as "keeping his impatience from setting in" and concluded saying that (...) "Nothing here is bad enough to be a deal-breaker, but Ghosts won’t be able to sustain my interest on 'good bones'" forever.[33]
