Season 3 Review:
A cute B storyline in the premiere focuses on the class system rivalry between the main ghosts (i.e. those who are allowed to “live” upstairs in the manor) and the smelly and socially awkward spirits of 19th century cholera victims who are relegated to spend eternity in the basement, staring at the water heater. .... I do like that a program as comfortable and familiar as this one can continue to make us think and grow.

Season 4 Review:
Even the most pompous personalities—cough, Asher Grodman’s finance bro Trevor Lefkowitz—thrive and grow and can be more-or-less content to be stuck somewhere for eternity as long as they’re with others who make it bearable. The fourth season of Ghosts, which premieres at 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 17, hammers this message home with the introduction of a novelty for an otherwise positive series that just happens to be about dead people: a legitimately scary ghost.

Season 5 Review:
This first episode may disappoint fans who wanted to see more of Elias and Jay, but it has all the great humor that Ghosts does best (Flower's line to Patience after Carol is sucked off is a genuine laugh-out-loud moment), and it is still setting up a broader world, without overcrowding Woodstone. If the rest of the season follows suit, Ghosts Season 5 is going to be a whole lot of fun.

Season 4 Review:
While the premiere episode is light on laughs, every joke still lands strongly as it maintains its signature style and flair, reminding us why we love this show. With Holland’s addition as Patience ramping up the comedic stakes, the Port and Wiseman sitcom is on its way back to exploring new, emotional landscapes across the Woodstone grounds for a season that feels every bit as exciting and fun as its first.

Season 1 Review:
Witty throwback. ... Perky Rose McIver and droll Utkasrsh Ambudkar are perfect foils. [8 - 21 Nov 2021, p.9]

Season 4 Review:
This isn’t highbrow television, obviously, but that isn’t what we want from Ghosts. Instead, we need it to be as cozy and comforting as a mug of hot chocolate—ideally served with sugary sweet marshmallows and cream bobbing enticingly on top—and that’s exactly what this new batch delivers so far.

Season 5 Review:
Together, this cast gives Ghosts its pulse when the writing takes an easier, more scenic route, making every line and half-baked scheme land with charm. But unless the show dares to scare itself (and the audience) a little more, Ghosts risks becoming exactly what it’s always joked about — a haunting that refuses to move on.

Season 3 Review:
Ghosts is still a smart comedy with solid laughs that strikes the perfect balance between pathos and humor. But for it to take off, it has to effectively manage its deeper conversations of loss through strong, layered writing and give its cast room to deliver strong performances.

Season 1 Review:
For now, though, Ghosts -- which premieres with back-to-back episodes -- milks enough laughs from the sharpness of its writing and sheer goofiness to warrant a look. Whether that translates into a long-term stay remains to be seen, but unlike a lot of new sitcoms, at least this one doesn't look dead on arrival.

Season 1 Review:
It’s admittedly rare for a sitcom to find its feet as quickly as the American “Ghosts” does, no doubt because it’s got a fairly malleable outline to follow that’s already proven successful. So while it’s genuinely jarring to watch this iteration of “Ghosts” if you’ve seen its British inspiration, if you have not [seen the original] … well, it’s charming enough to merit sticking around, anyway, especially as it begins to find its own way in a third episode completely divorced from the show’s source material.

Season 1 Review:
The third Ghosts episode is a big test, because it’s the first to deviate entirely from the source material. I can’t tell if it’s good or bad that this half-hour is essentially more of the same, neither disappointingly stripped of its original voice nor encouragingly refined in its new voice.

Season 1 Review:
Ghosts is more cute than funny. Though it must be given credit (if that's the right word) for breaking the broadcast-TV barrier on a particular euphemism for fellatio, which the ghosts use frequently without any awareness of its modern American significance. Now, on to the rusty trombone.
