I tried really hard but I hated this show
Anna (the ghost doctor) is ultimately a selfish character. The heavy handed "she helps the poor or disadvantaged' angle is too much to swallow in that she is forcing HER unfinished business onto the shoulders of her 'still alive" ex husband.
Now if they had created HIS story arc with a large amount of growth or redemption that he needed, then it 'could' have worked. All it seemed to me was a 'social justice' ghost demanding that 'the living' fulfill all of HER unfinished business.
In a show (that is only similar because of the interaction between spirits and the living) "Ghost Whisperer", the show worked because the human protagonist willfully took it upon herself to fix the 'unfinished business' of the dead.
In movies like 'Ghost Town' the protagonist learns a valuable life lesson and changes from being a jerk to a good guy, due to the harassment of his 'ghosts', but there was also a conclusion to each case, in that he didn't have the same spirit harass him over and over and over again with new 'hard luck cases'. Each spirit had their own business and left him alone after it was done.
I've only gotten a few episodes in, so I'll struggle through, but I don't like what I see. Just that one interaction where the 'social worker' MOCKS Doctor Holt for wanting patients who can actually PAY THEIR BILLS (gasp, how dare he?) almost made me quit watching right then and there. The show in their heavy handed 'social justice' tome, actually makes Poor people look like jerks by showing them demanding that others give them free stuff, rather than the more noble storyline of them presented as being 'deserving of help' and eventually getting it from those who 'see the light and do it for reasons of compassion'. Again. Doctor Holt is NOT a villain, so people taking from him (his time, his practice, his money, his sanity, etc) is not satisfying because he doesn't deserve the torment.
Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity.share
