Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Season 4’s greatest strength is its refusal to let the ghosts become one-note jokes. This season gives surprising depth to the "background" WMA members. finally gets a multi-episode arc involving a lost love from his Lenape tribe, delivering emotional weight without sacrificing his signature deadpan sass. Isaac , fresh off his revolutionary war book drama, pivots into wonderfully petty territory over a basement ghost’s stamp collection. ghosts s04 wma

The living half of the WMA, , are at their best here. Rose McIver continues to master the art of the split-second reaction (listening to four ghosts argue at once while a guest asks for a towel). But the real MVP is Utkarsh Ambudkar’s Jay . After years of being the "guy who can’t see the ghosts," the writers finally weaponize his frustration in hilarious ways—his attempts to bond with the ghosts via a Ouija board (which they break immediately) is an instant classic.

The ghosts may be stuck in purgatory, but Ghosts the show is very much alive. Ghosts Season 4 knows exactly what its audience

The term "Woodstone Mansion Assistants" feels more relevant than ever. This season explores the logistics of haunting. How do you run a wedding venue when a Victorian ghost keeps photobombing the couple’s first dance? How do you hide a cholera pit from a health inspector? The show leans into these sitcom mechanics beautifully. Just skip the mother-in-law episodes on rewatch

The season’s B-plot—Sam’s estranged, high-maintenance mother showing up to "help" run the inn—is a swing and a miss. While Betsy Sodaro gives it her manic all, the character feels like a retread of every "annoying relative" trope. It pulls focus from the ghosts for two episodes and resolves too neatly. We come for the spectral shenanigans, not the family therapy.
