Ghosts (CBS remake of BBC show) Oct 2021
I watch the original British show and love it. All 3 season are on HBOMax. This remake looks ok. Not liking some changes. But I do LOOOVE Rose McIver from I,Zombie
This is the trailer for the original BBC show.

Thought it was VERY good. Great to see something different from the normal run of the mill comedies. I do wonder how the concept can last and hold up long term, but I guess the British version has had multiple seasons so maybe it can

I watched and enjoyed several episodes of the original British series and should finish it up. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the American remake of this show. It works, and I hope that the show's budget allows the fairly large cast of ghosts to remain part of the show. This could still be a very fun one and done if CBS gets to air a full 10-12 episodes to give us a fairly fleshed out and complete story arc.
ETA: Also, I am in the same camp as most dudes, I think Rose McIver is gorgeous and I loved her in iZombie, those Netflix Holiday films, and now this show. Glad to have her back on tv on a weekly basis.

Watched the first episode of the BBC version. The CBS show is following the original almost too closely. I'm guessing it's because it's a pilot.

OK, watched the 2 eps. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Still not happy with some of the changes, but I'll live.

The third episode uses a plot point from the first season but unlike the BBC original, it does not become a season long thing. It also manages to start finding its own storyline.

Ghosts is funny enough. I like the format and the writing has shown promise.

I ran across this on Hulu on demand and got hooked on it (the first 3 episodes).
I enjoyed it and it has a few good laughs here and there. Looking forward to the next episode.

So the mid-season finale was this week. This is really one of my favorite shows right now. It’s nothing extraordinary, but it’s fun with a good heart. It’s also really well cast, I love all of them. They definitely hit a good pace and connection with each other. Second half apparently starts up January 6th.
Wife and I may check out the original in the meantime, I think it’s on HBO Max.

I’m still enjoying it.
Having a hard time remembering, but has there ever been a scene away from the mansion? (in the current timeline, and not in a flashback)

Rachael Harris (the Doctor from Lucifer) played Sam's Mom in the 1/6/22 ep.

I finally got around to seeing the BBC original. Just as good and different enough to not be a full blown remake. Both are actually great shows and have completely different vibes and personalities to it. I would love some kind of crossover.
