    Another mindless CBS comedy.

    This could have been a decent show except that it is too shallow and banal.

    Stereotypes abound which makes this show less than smart, less than interesting, and easy to tune out.

    When will Hollywood learn that smart writing is the key to the success of the classic sitcoms of the past. Unfortunately they keep dishing out this drivel.

    This show is an abomination. Yet another doomed American remake of a British show that didn’t need to be made. I should say that I loved Rose McIver in iZombie, but if the showrunners thought they were capturing what made the original Ghosts special they have failed spectacularly. Please just watch the original BBC Ghosts, there are already three seasons and it’s still airing.

    Perhaps if I had not seen the original series, this American adaptation would be tolerable, but I rather doubt it. Setting aside the fact that this adaptation did not take a single opportunity to improve upon the formula of the original, it's just not funny. The writing is clunky, made clunkier by a cast that just seem to nail a single line of dialogue.

You get the sense that this is everyone's first everything. First acting roles, first scriptwriting gig, first time directing, editing, etc. If not, it's pretty embarrassing.… Expand

    Ghosts US (BBC Three/iPlayer) is a decent showcase for its cast and it can’t kill the charm of the original, but what was delightful in the original show is now just pleasant and what was unique is generic.

    The US version of Ghosts (BBC Three) isn’t bad. It’s a scene-for-scene remake of the original.

    While it's perfectly OK, watching it is like drinking Aldi cava having tasted champagne.
