Ghosts

Look I really wanted to hate this show even though Rebecca Wisocky is in it an I think she is one of the best sitcom comedic ladies of all time. I dunno I kind of adore her so much. Also part of me wanted to support another Kiwi. I was really ready to hate it cos I love originals and I love the original series of this. But they actually take it and move into something else. I can't remember the name of the Jay character but honestly he plays it so well even I feel his pain and not being able to see the ghosts but also wanted to be a part of the fun .

Ok in summary. Wanted to hate it. Ended up kinda loving it. Its not a waste of time!

This show is about a couple that inherits a haunted estate. The woman has a head injury which leads to her being able to see and communicate with the ghosts. We follow the couple and the ghosts and how they go about their daily "lives". The show is really charming, funny and very warm. Watching it just makes me happy. I love the different characters and their stories and the actors play their parts perfectly. Set in a Downton abbey kind of environment adds to the cosy feeling. This show is so loveable that I forgive the sometimes silly jokes. Every episode is like praline in a chocolate box. Love it!

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.

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!

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.
