Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Ghosts Season 4 knows exactly what its audience wants: quick gags, surprising heart, and the unique joy of watching the WMA fumble through the supernatural. It doesn't reinvent the haunted wheel, but it polishes it until you can see your own grinning reflection. If you loved the first three seasons, this is comfort food with a few new spices. Just skip the mother-in-law episodes on rewatch. 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. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Ghosts Season 4 knows exactly

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 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.
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.
