School Spirits

I'll start by saying I'm not much of a connoisseur of teenage drama shows. I started watching on a boredom whim, and binged the entire show in less than two days! The story line, is surprisingly complex. The character development is slow, methodical and interesting. I was most surprised by Peyton List in this. I squirmed at her character in Kobra Kai, however clearly now that be determined it was a bad script, and nothing to do with her acting. She is likeable, relatable and a generally lovely person in this. Which makes the plot twists all the more compelling. She makes for a fantastic leading lady. The character Simon, to me is both the most opaque. I can understand his motives, yet he is a total mystery of the best kind. I know nothing of his back story. But I find myself wondering about his home life, what atmosphere would allow him to thrive. Great show, I will go 8/10 as I like it.

So far this has been the freshest and most pleasant surprise among the several new series I decided to give a day in court to this season. It was also the one I heard no buzz or hype about when it first popped up on Paramount+. I gave it a shot because I saw Peyton List was starring in it and was also a producer. I thought she was very impressive in the Cobra Kai series.

I'm hanging in there with a couple of the other freshmen series and hoping they will improve but this one is up and running just fine. I'm only 4 episodes in as I write this but so far each new episode has been as good or better than the one that came before. What more could you ask for from a new show? Keep up the great work!

This show is about ghosts who haunt a high school, and all of the ghosts are from different eras, so you have a 50s ghost, a 70s ghost, a 90s ghost etc, and then you have the lead character who has just recently died and is trying to figure out how. All the ghosts have a support group for each other that meets in the high school, and they all take care of each other. I binged all six episodes (so far) of this yesterday, and I could honestly watch it again today. It's very charming and emotional and cute, but also has lots of suspense and a murder mystery going on that will keep you guessing. All of the actors are so lovely in their roles, I've been moved to tears several times in six episodes, and I don't cry easy. Great for all ages, and I hope it gets a second season!

I found this last night and hardcore binged all 4 episodes. This show is crazy good.

Supernatural happenings- check Nuanced characters- check tongue-in-cheek humor - double check perfect balance of light and dark subject matter- yup Good use of effects- yes but I would like to see an expansion. The show's playing it cheap when it comes to needing any effects at all.

Suspense and a good whodunnit- Absolutely Lack of typical teen drama melodramatics- surprisingly

It's fresh. It's sweet. It's funny. It's dark.

My only real complaint is that absolutely ZERO of these "teens" look like they have any business near a high school. Yes, they are good actors except when it comes to acting like they're still teenagers. Or even in their twenties. I mean how old are these actors?!

But I just pretend it's set in college. And it makes more sense.

Actually, a lot of this could have been worked around a community college setting and it would have been as good.

No real complaints, just gave it a 9 because it is really short. SO in love with this cast, they all seem great, did very well in these roles and had great chemistry. All were perfect choices. This show is 100% worth a watch if you have been thinking about it. Loved it right from the beginning. It has its funny moments, but also some serious topics, I really like the concept in general too. Peyton List is amazing, I need to see her in more!! Will definitely be watching again in a few months! Overall a really really good show to binge! Really hoping for a season two!! Hopefully a few episodes longer??
