Featured reviews
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.
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 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!

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.
Originally I was all about the BBC version and against how Americanized this version became. Yet, I find that the story lines and fun and games is just like watching lego masters uk/us/aus there are so many story Arcs to be told. I am now a fan of this. It was fun to watch the similarities but seperating it, biggup to the husband for perfect portrayal of not knowing whats going on but knowing whats good.
Did you know
- TriviaRose McIver and husband George Byrne announced that they were expecting their first child one month after the third season began filming in December 2023. The show spends the entire third season hiding her baby bump after deciding not to write a baby into the show in the third season.
- GoofsThe wounds that killed some of the characters appear and disappear between episode, in particular Flower's open gash in the back and Nigel's chest wound. Also, the basement ghosts appear in Season 1 with pustules and wounds, more consistent to the appearance of the plague ghosts in the original BBC version, but not with the cholera epidemic that killed them in this one. This is corrected in Season 2.
