What the hell happened to this show?!
17 February 2018
I just adjusted my review of the series from a 9 to a 2. It used to be a great show, and I was very excited to see that it was returning for a sixth season. I have never been more disappointed in a reboot than .... oh, wait. That Ghostbusters debacle. Because that is what just happened. It used to be a great show for everyone, and now it's a ridiculous chick flick. I just finished Episode 8, and it hasn't gotten any better. The girls are constantly saving the day, and the two actual "operators" are basically used for distractions and needing saving.

In the opening episode, the "tough" chick walks in on one of the guys finishing a shower, and makes a few jokes implying he wasn't well endowed. Imagine if that was reversed, and a male character was leering at some woman in an open shower bay, and then repeatedly pointing out how flat-chested she was. Yeah, the harpies would lose their minds.

This show went from great to pathetically awful in one season. #sad
