Pilot

Watched expecting to hate this. US versions of UK comedies generally suck (as do UK versions of US ones.)

But it was actually OK. The changes to the characters made sense with the different histories of our countries, it had it's own thing going whilst keeping the spirit of the original.

This might just turn out to be another office, a comedy that actually translates well

Looking forward to where they take it. Tyke much longer series in America mean they're going to have to come up with their own stories, which should be fun.

Not loving the pantless wall St guy so far, he's not as sleazy as our version, but maybe he'll grow on me.

This show is just delightful. I love the character mix and can see many potential story arcs. If you haven't seen it, give it a chance.

A young couple move into a mansion, a lavish house that is already occupied by a hoard of ghosts from across history.

I am not going to fall into the trap of comparing each episode with the original, British version, instead I will give it the courtesy it deserves, and see it with fresh eyes. It's definitely less subtle, I think that's fair to say.

First thing, there are quite a lot of ghosts, it's going to be interesting to see how they give any of them air time, it's pretty crowded back there.

They have definitely sexed it up a little, and I can understand why, Thorfinn, if I was haunted by him, I wouldn't find it a hardship! So far I like Trevor and Alberta, Pete is intentionally irritating.

Samantha and Jay are sweet, and I really did enjoy the way that she was given the ability to see The Ghosts, neat idea.

Fine start, 8/10.

This show has a refreshing, clean story line with a multicultural cast. I love it!!! Love the diversity! It's funny and I can't wait for the next episode. There is so much possibility for interesting stories! I'm hooked!!

Note to the Executives of this show: the reality is Not everyone is interested in reality TV, or shows with people who do not have integrity. I show is good TV. The canceled show Debris was also good TV. Thanks for listening.

Everything this copies from the BBC sitcom (and it copies a lot) it does worse and everything original they do rarely hits the mark. 95 percent of this episode is copied from the original, and I don't blame them, its a pilot, however when you attempt to do traditionally British dry sarcastic humour with only Americans (and not to mention the counterparts to the original characters are much more lively and expressive) it never comes out as funny as the original.

With that said I don't think this show has a complete lack of potential, there's definitely something there, they just have to make it their own and stray away from copying the original too much.
