Summary
Reviewers say 'School Spirits' is a captivating supernatural teen drama with an intriguing murder mystery, exploring friendships, grief, and complex relationships. Praised for engaging plot twists, well-developed characters, and unique world-building, it offers emotional depth and humor. However, some note inconsistencies in ghost rules and actor ages. Despite pacing and predictability criticisms, excitement for future seasons and character development is high.

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.

This has been an interesting show. I enjoy the school setting and the afterlife aspect. There are plenty of questions i have. Like why do the kids have to stay at the school? Is there a heaven or god? And i hope we will get answers for them. The show reminds me a lot of the video game life is strange. While it's not exactly the same they both have similarities. They are both set in school. They both involve a missing girl. And both involve their best friends trying to find out what happened. And they both have supernatural elements. The actors seem to be doing a good job. I'm looking forward to seeing where this will go.
First something I noticed in a pervious review. The ghosts can interact with things in the living world but the thing in the living world isn't affected. They explained it in the very beginning so think of it as the ghost makes a ghost copy of the item. Hence why they can steal donuts from the teachers lounge but no living person notices. The living world donuts were not affected by the ghost but there is a 'copy' of the donuts now in the ghost world. Now if you think this concept is dumb or not is completely on you to decide. Likewise they explained slightly why Maddie can speak to one living person. Overall the show is really good, they did a great job I think of making it seem like a number of people could have been the 'bad guy.' The overall idea I suppose has been seen before but I can't recall another time seeing this general plot idea that I enjoyed as much as this show. Super hoping they green light season two.
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!
