O Fantasma Escritor

My 9 and 7 year olds love this show! It's definitely different from the original but fun for the whole family anyway.

It's a pretty clever reimagining. They've taken the core elements from the original show and given the damn ghost and the characters something new and different to do. It's nice to see some beloved stories come to the forefront and play a role in the plot of each episode and how their themes tie into the situations the kids are dealing with in the present.

Some issues to point out; the acting from some of the adults is pretty meh. Namely the grandfather (book store owner) and a nurse in episode 3.....And I don't know why, but in a lot of the closeup shots the cinematographer decided to leave a lot of negative space, to the point it seems like the actors faces are about to leave the side of the screen. Why did anyone think this was a good look? It's pretty amateurish and jarring.

Other than that, the show itself is find and a wonderful 20 something minutes for kids. KIDS. That's right, the bad reviews for this seem to think this was made for them and are judging it as adult programming. The original show, had it came out the same way today, would have been panned. I guess the onslaught of adult cynicism never ends its cycle, huh?

I had never heard of this series. But, I'm glad I found it. Seems to be a true gem. Don't let the other reviews sway you. Just watch it and get immersed in it. And it's good for all ages. Even a 54 year old Dad.

For of all, I just reached "official" senior adult age. As many of the shows aimed for adults on Apple TV have a lot of profanity, I have tried out some of the shows for kids. This one was really a joy...I can't wait for more.

This is a fun family show! It reminds me of Wishbone from when I was little. Kids get to learn about classic stories and have a fun show!
