Featured reviews
Listen I'm neither British nor American, so I'm unbiased here.
I watched this show without even knowing there was a British version which I'm sure must be awesome. But this American version is simply genius!!
Extremely funny, good costumes, clever script, and with very talented actors. I just can't stop watching, it has been a while since I found a show that made me laugh this hard!
P. S. All the other bitter reviewers could be a bit more thoughtful about all the jobs put at risk for their spiteful unfounded comments. You should be reviewing the show based on what you saw, not based on the comparison with another show. Shame on you!

Ghosts is one of the funniest shows currently on tv. It's about Samantha, a freelance journalist, and Jay, a up and coming chef, who decide to leave the big city and put all their money in to buy a run down country estate and turn it into a bed and breakfast. While their Sam falls and hits her head, when she wakes up she can see ghosts. There are a bunch that live in their new house as they can't leave the property. Sam is the first living person that can see and hear them. What follows is a very funny show. Ghosts currently has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 8.0 here so you can see it's loved by both the audience and critics. If you're looking for a new show to just have fun watching then Ghosts is the show for you.
Look I really wanted to hate this show even though Rebecca Wisocky is in it an I think she is one of the best sitcom comedic ladies of all time. I dunno I kind of adore her so much. Also part of me wanted to support another Kiwi. I was really ready to hate it cos I love originals and I love the original series of this. But they actually take it and move into something else. I can't remember the name of the Jay character but honestly he plays it so well even I feel his pain and not being able to see the ghosts but also wanted to be a part of the fun .
Ok in summary. Wanted to hate it. Ended up kinda loving it. Its not a waste of time!

I have to admit that Ghosts ended up being a lot funnier than I expected. It's based off the UK version of the same name. I never saw the original UK version so I can't compare but this version sure is pretty funny. The entire cast is great and all have their time to shine. Everyone will have their personal favorites though and my favorites are Isaac, Thor and Hetty. Again, they're all funny though and have their moments. The only person on the show I don't find funny and kind of a bad actor is Utkarsh Ambudkar who plays Jay. He's definitely the weak link in the show. He has a few funny scenes here and there but I just don't think he's a good actor. The lead is Sam played by Rose McIver. She makes the entire show go. Listen, this isn't one of my favorite comedies I've ever seen but it's definitely worth the watch.
Originally I was all about the BBC version and against how Americanized this version became. Yet, I find that the story lines and fun and games is just like watching lego masters uk/us/aus there are so many story Arcs to be told. I am now a fan of this. It was fun to watch the similarities but seperating it, biggup to the husband for perfect portrayal of not knowing whats going on but knowing whats good.

Did you know
- TriviaRose McIver and husband George Byrne announced that they were expecting their first child one month after the third season began filming in December 2023. The show spends the entire third season hiding her baby bump after deciding not to write a baby into the show in the third season.
- GoofsThe wounds that killed some of the characters appear and disappear between episode, in particular Flower's open gash in the back and Nigel's chest wound. Also, the basement ghosts appear in Season 1 with pustules and wounds, more consistent to the appearance of the plague ghosts in the original BBC version, but not with the cholera epidemic that killed them in this one. This is corrected in Season 2.
