Ghosts

I watched the UK version and liked it..I started watching the US version and didn't think I would like it. At first I didn't give the pilot a very high score. I came back and started it again and fell in love with it...As I got to know all of the ghosts and felt this was a charming series. I laugh at most of the episodes and binged on all of the episodes so far. I found no it's not the British one but It is just as good and I found in a lot of the episodes I liked better. So this Americanized version is very good in it's own right.

Ghosts is one of the funniest shows currently on tv. It's about Samantha, a freelance journalist, and Jay, a up and coming chef, who decide to leave the big city and put all their money in to buy a run down country estate and turn it into a bed and breakfast. While their Sam falls and hits her head, when she wakes up she can see ghosts. There are a bunch that live in their new house as they can't leave the property. Sam is the first living person that can see and hear them. What follows is a very funny show. Ghosts currently has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 8.0 here so you can see it's loved by both the audience and critics. If you're looking for a new show to just have fun watching then Ghosts is the show for you.

I have watched the entire British show in the past, and greatly enjoyed it. I thought this would just be a US rehash, and the first couple of episodes looked that way - similar environment, similar characters. I persevered, and it developed differently to the original. Character development of the ghosts is happening differently, and there are even some different characters altogether.

I have only seen the first season so far, so I'm hoping that things continue to grow and improve, and diverge from the original British version. Apparently season 4 is happening, so I look forward to getting that far.

I'm still trying to adjust to the American accents though!

Listen I'm neither British nor American, so I'm unbiased here.

I watched this show without even knowing there was a British version which I'm sure must be awesome. But this American version is simply genius!!

Extremely funny, good costumes, clever script, and with very talented actors. I just can't stop watching, it has been a while since I found a show that made me laugh this hard!

P. S. All the other bitter reviewers could be a bit more thoughtful about all the jobs put at risk for their spiteful unfounded comments. You should be reviewing the show based on what you saw, not based on the comparison with another show. Shame on you!

I laughed out loud on many occasions at the original British version, which is wilder on many subjects, but i admit that this one is quite good.

It started like a poor Copy-Paste with no soul of its own, watchable for those who didn't know better. Even so, it was nice. Watch the original "about last night" SO2 Ep 2 if you need to watch one? WATCH THIS ONE !

It took a different direction somewhere with American characters as ghosts and an Indian rooted chef who is a benevolent husband, right away. That's the spirit of this comedy

I will always cherish the original, may even clock a 9/10 on that one. But the adaptation is nice enough. It's way better than "the office" for morale. Kindof eclipsed by Severance (Sci-fi). There is that.

As ghosts go it's as Walt Disney as can be, with a few quirks. They want to be "sucked off" to heaven. Finish some unfinished business.
