When an earthquake unleashes dangerous paranormal forces, the beliefs and biases of humankind face a reckoning. Roman Mercer, a troubled medium and local pariah, must fight figurative and literal demons to stop a mass haunting in his remote Alaskan town of Port Moore. The prejudiced townsfolk stand in his way, unable or unwilling to see the threat -- at least, until the unexplainable and horrific incidents become too dire to overlook. Mercer's psychic abilities may prove to be the people's only salvation.

It's solid stuff with good writing, decent horror and a cast that includes the septuagenarian Meat Loaf as an ageing bully. Go to Full Review

Stephen K @usmhot Sep 6 First it's ghosts, then it's aliens, then alien ghosts. The townsfolk are stranded on their island, cut off from the rest of world, with people dying left right and centre and they mostly just go about their days with no sense of panic or emergency. Except sometimes there is and then there isn't. No logical flow or plot. Basically, it's just nonsense.

A small town in Alaska is cut off from the rest of the world, and is being terrorised by ghosts. One outcast young man is the only one who can help the town that has hated him all his life See more Wolfgang G 07/29/2023 Ghost Wars ist eine Fantasy-Science-Fiction Fernsehserie von Simon Barry… Eine kleine Stadt in Alaska: Der örtliche Außenseiter Roman Mercer wird dank seiner psychischen Kräfte zur einzigen Hoffnung der Gemeinde, als diese von potenziell tödlichen übernatürlichen Kräften überrannt wird… Eine solide Fantasy-Serie mit einzelne Horror-Szenen, irgendwie zu Langatmig und in die Länge gezogen… Mit vielen unerwarteten Momenten, die mich überraschten, sei's positiv oder negativ… Kurz gesagt, die Serie hat mich in ihren Bann gezogen, auch wenn sie nicht perfekt ist, ist sie auch sehenswert… See more David W @Sternhammer 01/11/2023 Enjoyed this series very much. Well written and the cast give uniformally strong performances, especially Meat Loaf who gave a really impressive, powerhouse turn. Shame it didn't garner a much deserved larger audience and a second series at least. See more Read all reviews
