Peyton List plays a ghost investigating her own murder and discovering that the afterlife is a lot like high school.
'Wolf Pack' Star Rodrigo Santoro on What Drew Him to Sarah Michelle Gellar's Werewolf Series and a "Huge Twist" Aheadboasts hints of clever dialogue, a mystery that, if nothing else, isn’t easily solvable within the first three episodes sent to critics, and a decent lead performance from Peyton List .
As befits TV convention, the high-school ghosts are trapped in some sort of limbo. They died at or around the school, which may be why they can’t leave? And they can’t change their clothes, so they’re forever trapped representing both the character archetype and the time of their demise. There’s a jock from the ’80s , a grouchy girl from the ’50s who may be dressed like somebody’s idea of a stereotypical beatnik and a ’60s or ’70s hippy .
Is this appropriate for a premise primarily built around teenage ghosts? I suppose so. Does part of me still aggressively wonder how TV’s recent run of ghost and ghost-adjacent shows have removed any trace of religion — or “faith,” if you prefer something less structured —from the afterlife? Yeah. Not everything needs to be, in which Jewish mysticism is smartly woven throughout.
The mystery is driven by the writers withholding information, not by anything truly twisty, though Patrick Gilmore and Ian Tracey are good as a couple of the grown-ups who are presented as too sketchy too early on to be anything other than red herrings. That means that after three episodes, I don’t have a clue who killed Maddie or where her body is, and I may mean that literally — as in, viewers haven’t been given enough clues to build theories.
