Don’t worry. They have another upcoming show called The Messenger which from the synopsis is also a meaningless and confusing title.

Ummm The Messenger is adapted from the novel of the same name.
Yes but the point is that it’s such a generic title you don’t know what the series is about.
Cameras roll in Queensland on new ABC comedy series Limbo
The ABC is delighted to announce celebrated Australian actors Ryan Corr and Bob Morley will star in the bold new six-part comedy series Limbo, which has commenced filming in Queensland.
Ryan Corr (Holding The Man, Wakefield, High Ground) returns to Australia after his role as Ser Harwin ‘Breakbones’ Strong in Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon, and Bob Morley (Love Me, Blinder, Neighbours) returns from LA, where he appeared in seven seasons of the sci-fi hit The 100.
Produced by Bunya Productions (Mystery Road, Sweet Country) and Heiress Films (Man Up, Making Couples Happy), Limbo is created by Lucas Taylor (Harrow, Vikings: Athelstan’s Journal), written by Lucas Taylor and Tamara Asmar (On The Ropes, Love Child) and directed by the acclaimed Trent O’Donnell (No Activity, Hacks, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and David Stubbs (Daffodils, Black Hands).
Also starring is an impressive ensemble cast headed by Emma Harvie (Frayed, The Letdown) and including Shabana Azeez (Metro Sexual S2, The Hunting), Russell Dykstra (Irreverent, Fires, Rake), Lena Cruz (Here Out West, The Unusual Suspects, Dirt Game), Aaron Fa’aoso (Black Comedy, East West 101), Jane Harber (Offspring, The Moodys), Philippa Northeast (Standing Up for Sunny, The Newsreader S2), Josh McConville (Elvis, Fantasy Island), Kamillia Rihani (The Twelve), Georgina Naidu (Seachange, Rosehaven).
Loss and laughs collide in Limbo, which explores the compelling and charmingly funny story of best friends Charlie (Ryan Corr) and Nate (Bob Morley) as they’re faced with how hard it is to let go of those we love - especially when they’re taken too soon. And when they come back to haunt you. Literally.
Todd Abbott, Head of Comedy for the ABC, said, “The fact that so many of this brilliant cast, who are kicking goals internationally, are coming home to make this series speaks volumes about what a special show it is going to be. It’ll warm your heart, break your heart, thump you in the guts and, most importantly, make you laugh the way only a ghost buddy comedy set in Brisbane can.”
Limbo will air on ABC TV and ABC iview in 2023.

Mates for life… and the afterlife! Ryan Corr and Bob Morley’s bold new series In Limbo premieres this May on ABC
From Wednesday 24 May at 9:00 PM
In Limbo, ABC’s compelling new series starring Australian actors Ryan Corr (Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon, Holding The Man, Wakefield) and Bob Morley (Love Me, Blinder, Neighbours), premieres on Wednesday 24th May at 9pm on ABC TV and ABC iview, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview from launch.
The six-part series tells the story of best friends Charlie (Ryan Corr) and Nate (Bob Morley) as they’re faced with how hard it is to let go of those we love – especially when they’re taken too soon. And when they come back to haunt you. Literally. Exploring universal themes of friendship, love and grief, In Limbo will make you laugh and cry.
When Nate dies at just 38, Charlie is forced to face his grief in a way he could never have imagined, when the ghost of his dead friend begins ‘haunting’ him. There are no levitating tables or flying books, but confronting the spectre of loss is the scariest thing Charlie’s ever done. The only comfort is that he’s facing it with his charming, witty and garrulous best mate by his side – albeit in apparition form.
In Limbo premieres on ABC iview on Wednesday 24th May at 9pm with all episodes available to stream. The series will also air weekly on ABC TV from Wednesday 24th May at 9pm.
So basically the same storyline as Crazy Fun Park for an older generation.
I hust noticed that they changed the title of this show to: “In Limbo”. 
Where did they get that good idea?
Good news anyway.

Lots of iconic Brisbane scenes in the opening episode makes a nice change to frequently seen inner Melbourne or suburban Sydney locations.

So confused to read what I thought was a review for Wednesday’s premiere of In Limbo
Not sure how In Limbo ever got called as a comedy as seen in the early media releases. There’s noting funny about it as all, especially the storyline being centred around the death of a friend, husband and father.
I notice that in the most recent it is just called a “series”.
ABC resorting to reviewing their own shows? What a shock it got a good review. It’s really just a PR piece.
The ABC really is starting to mirror all other Australian media.
They use to be the one trusted source of unbiased journalism. Now it’s all the same as the rest.
Agenda setting, opinionated and untrustworthy.
So you’re saying all the other Australian media has already been agenda setting, opinionated and untrustworthy.

What are peoples thoughts on this? Is it any good. It was highly reviewed in the herald or guardian.
It’s a quality production but I feel it’s nothing I haven’t seen before. The premise has been used many times before with The Ghost and Mrs Muir, Ghosts and Australia’s own Spirited.
I think the ratings are a good reflection of how much you would enjoy it
