I'm right on the fence on Ghost Wars. The first episode was somewhat intriguing, but the second was lackluster and I always gave up the series then. But I decided to watch the next one, which jumped to different characters and introduced sci-fi elements to the fantasy/horror.
The premise seems rather fuzzy so far. Malicious ghosts have taken over a town and are wreaking havoc, and there's this one guy who has always been able to see ghosts who goes from town weirdo to town's only hope. But I have little sense of a structure beyond that; so far this has been very episodic with characters shifting in and out and no clear sense of what sort of story arc we're getting.
It's filmed serviceably, and the performances are generally serviceable, although the only standout is Vincent D'Onofrio as a redneck priest.
There are some logic issues. I'm pretty sure I know how to resolve the navigational issues in the second episode and I find it weird that no one suggests it. At the same time, I do get a sense that the creators are making a very sincere attempt to build a complete world with lots of moving parts in the way of something like Fortitude. Although I'm not sure if they're going to be able to pull it off.
So, for now I'll keep watching. But four episodes in I'm still unsure how long I'll stay with this.
