Ghosts: Australia

Kind of crazy that every version so far has been great. I loved the british version, then the american version was great! Then this version popped up and it was great too! The best part is that they all put their own spin on the same concept, but they all have knocked it out of the park. I really hope this one gets a second season!

So, what if the US version, but unfunny?

If you see the scenes adapted from the UK/US version and put them side by side with this one, you can see how lackluster they are, and sometimes even mean spirited without being funny (which makes the first 2 episode really hard to power through).

Unispired.

I am a big fan of the US series and I liked the U. K series.

As an Aussie an I was nervous about any 'Australian' version as just recently the office bombed

I was pleasantly surprised! I loved all the characters and I'm excited to see what happens next.

Let's pump out 5 more seasons and let's have way more fun!

I am a big fan of the UK and US versions, so I was excitedly looking forward to this one!

Alas, the story arcs are weak and pretty much all the characters lack any emotional depth. It's certainly entertaining but it simply lacks the depth and nuance of the other versions I've enjoyed watching.

Take the doctor scene par example... The previous version did it well and it hit home, but this version simply didn't have the timing, the impact nor the attention to detail it deserved. And that seems like it set the stage for the rest of the production.

Both the story and characters seem underdeveloped and quite honestly, this feels more like a tick in the box being required to make Australian-based content, than a genuine attempt to match the previous versions' depth and quality.

It is watchable but I'd be surprised if it were to match the previous versions' success and popularity. This version is crude and rushed whereas the others had subtlety, cleverness and that quintessential spark that made them meaningful.

Took a couple of episode but eventually the ghosts and the living get better. By the last episode you are committed to there story. It is a mix of the UK and American versions but stands on its own in the Australian background. Hopefully they will expand on the other characters background. Not sure if a second season is on cards.
