I'll continue my rewatch of GHOST WARS. Still a good series and even better with an ultra wide monitor as this was a show that aired in 2.40:1 aspect ratio so it fills the screen unlike most shows which are only in 16:9 and so end up with black bars on the side of an ultra-wide screen (unless you want to go for scrunched up people and fill the screen from edge to edge.)
