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.
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.

Every good show gets cancelled, PLEASE don't do it to this one! The story is engaging and not predictable, the characters as complex and loveable, the acting is fantastic and the filmography is beautiful. The first season sucked me in almost instantly and I binged the whole thing in a matter of days. I was worried season 2 wasnt going to be as good but I was excited for it anyway. But season two hit the ground running and knocked it out of the park from the first episode. I was shocked when i ran out of episodes. The cliffhanger at the end of season 2 is so intense. There is clearly so much more story to be covered. I honestly cant say enough good about this show. Please let us at least get a conclusion, I'm begging you!
As someone else mentioned, there are moments where you stop and go, "wait...why is no one living seeing this inanimate object moving before their eyes with noone moving it?".
But, it's a show about teen ghosts in a high school. I am just sitting back and enjoying the emotional rollercoaster ride.
This show is sweet, funny, cringe, sad and intriguing.
And the acting is actually way better than I anticipated. Big plus.
It is delivering exactly what it claims to on a high level. I'm hooked.
I just finished episode 3 and am already bummed that I won't be able to binge the whole season in a week.

As an avid paranormal lover, I was ready to be let down by another "stupid high school ghost show" - but I was completely, and delightfully, wrong!
This show kept me enthralled since the very first scene, on my seat wondering who Maddie's killer was. The balance of suspense, humor, and sadness was perfect. A few scenes brought me to tears. There were some moments where the acting or jokes made by the characters made me roll my eyes, but like I've said, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The big reveal/cliffhanger at the end of episode 8 really threw me for a loop! I am looking forward to another season.
