I’m a huge fan of sitcoms – but I’m picky, and I don’t like rewatching genre staples of yesteryear on loop. Luckily, I found two excellent shows last year that scratched this itch – ABBOTT ELEMENTARY and GHOSTS. I was surprised by the latter, but the jokes so far are funny and relevant, the story is genuinely interesting, and the cast is excellent.
I recently found out that GHOSTS is a 2019 British series remake. It follows a young couple trying to convert an old home into a bed-and-breakfast. After a freak accident, Samantha (Rose McIver) can see and hear the ghostly residents of the house; hijinks ensue.
The show works due to its ensemble cast, as a diverse set of people hailing from various places, cultures, and time periods. This set-up allows for a wealth of interesting backstories, as demonstrated by the episodes in this season. And that’s been one of my favorite parts of the show; there’s a delicate balance between the overarching, interweaving storylines and the episodic breaks. As a result, you can miss an episode or revisit the show after a while but not feel lost.
GHOSTS falls into the “cutecom” category, where all of our characters are occasionally goofy, odd, weird – and generally very likable. If you want a straightforward, lean-back comedy with a (tiny) touch of spookiness, GHOSTS is for you.
GHOSTS is available to stream on Paramount+.
