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.

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.
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.

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 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.
