Short summary

Leroy and Max get a lead on the whereabouts of Agent Checker while trying to prove themselves.

Although this is the final episode of the series, it was meant to air much earlier in the season as the 10th episode, before the show was retooled from a paranormal comedy to an office comedy. Fox canceled its original broadcast mere days before it was supposed to air in January 2018, as the mid-season finale. It was then released on Amazon by mistake. As Fox wanted to start the second half of the season with a clean slate, it was shelved until there were no other new episodes left to air. This episode features Ava Lafrey (Ally Walker) in charge of the Bureau Underground, with no mention of her replacement Merv Minette (Kevin Dunn), and the focus is back on the paranormal and the storylines left unresolved when the show came back after mid-season; though they never get resolved here, either.

    I was debating whether or not to review this episode, and have decided instead to review the show in its entirety. After watching the Pilot, I told myself that, "This show has some promise." While watching a new episode every week, under the first showrunner, I decided that the main thing it had going for it was the chemistry between Scott and Robinson. However, thinking about this, I found myself actually agreeing with the choice to restructure the show as although it had charm and pretty good humor between the two of them, it would be unsustainable as good TV shows also need to have good supporting casts and it was obvious after watching the poor and unfunny B-stories that this was not the case. I had hope that Paul Lieberstein would be able to change this with him having been a part of The Office which was incredible successful. After watching the sort of second pilot I found myself sort of underwhelmed and figured that it just needed a week or two to redefine itself. I was wrong. With the addition of new characters, whose purpose was simply to give the show a feel more like that of The Office, there was far less interaction between the shows two main characters. In this way, the show also lost its charm. They also decided to create storylines just for the sake of creating them such as supposed love triangle between Max, Leroy, and Annie. The episode which was dedicated to this conflict was very out of place in terms of the characters and their development. The show also seemed as if it was sucked dry of all humor turning it into a sort of drama. The final part of this show I am going to discuss, which I found most frustrating, was the order in which they chose to release the episodes. This is what made the show seem so sloppy as while you would watch an episode with one continuing storyline, the next episode, because it was released out of order, would have a completely different focus making it very confusing for the viewer to watch. An example of this was this final episode which I guessing was originally supposed to be episode 3 or 4. It again brought up storylines that hadn't even been mentioned in like half a year. All in all, while Ghosted originally had some potential and charm, it ended just how it hadn't started, a confused and mismanaged show which did not effectively utilize the very talented cast they had access to. Goodbye Ghosted. You were an somewhat charming train wreck.

    This episode is not bad but ultimately is unsatisfactory as a finale. The first half of the season was a pretty good X-Files with comedy type thing and a minor mystery established in the pilot. When they got a new show runner it took an interesting new approach, introducing more of an ensemble and a bigger mystery that was going on. This finale fails because it can't deliver on either mystery or tone of the two halfs. Everything established in the second half of the season seems to not have happened and the episode ends on a cliffhanger that won't ever get solved. Ultimately the problem is how it can't deliver on anything because neither story had enough time to develop.
