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.

If Season 3 of Ghosts was about adjusting to unexpected absence (RIP, almost, to Thor’s girlfriend Flower), Season 4 is about the chaos of a full house. The "Woodstone Mansion Assistants" (Sam, Jay, and the spectral ensemble) have officially settled into a bizarre rhythm, and the show is reaping the comedic benefits of its established world—while occasionally tripping over its own plot threads.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

The ghosts may be stuck in purgatory, but Ghosts the show is very much alive.

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. ghosts s04 wma

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.

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.
