⭐⭐⭐½ (out of 5) Ghosts (US) – Same house, same haunting, but a sunnier afterlife.
“Ghosts (US)” is the American adaptation of the hit British comedy — and while it follows the same premise of a couple inheriting a house filled with eccentric spirits, it gives the story a distinctly brighter and more sentimental twist. The result is a warmer, friendlier haunting that trades dry British wit for broader, heart-on-its-sleeve humour.
Many of the characters and plots will feel familiar to fans of the original — the soldier, the noblewoman, the hippie, the scout leader — but they’re reimagined with an American flavour. The ghosts are more talkative, the pacing quicker, and the emotional beats a little louder. It’s not quite as sharp or self-aware as its UK predecessor, but it’s undeniably charming in its own right.
The cast’s chemistry carries the show, and as the series settles into its rhythm, it builds a genuine sense of community — among both the living and the dead.
If Ghosts (UK) is the clever, understated version, then Ghosts (US) is its cheerful cousin — a lighter, easier watch that still delivers plenty of laughs and heart.
