      Nina Metz Chicago Tribune The first thing you notice about the UK original is that it’s less sitcomy in its rhythms. It’s also just shot better and more cinematic. The writing’s a smidge sharper. Rooted in a joyously absurd sense of humor, the strength of both shows. Rated: 3/4 Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) I don't know if it's a sign of the times but so many comedies now seem to come with a bleak edge, whereas what we most need, possibly, is silliness and, I'm happy to report, Ghosts is very, very silly indeed. Rated: 4/5 Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Susannah Butter London Evening Standard It's like getting drunk with a group of precociously intelligent sixth-form history students. There's nothing that will cause controversy... The humour is kind, warm and sweet. Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Ghosts is not only funny, but its characters show potential for fun storylines right off the bat. Nov 18, 2023 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies It's the perfect time to get watching the finest British sitcom from this century so far. Jan 21, 2023 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies A top-notch cast delivers a clever series with a unique awkward sit-com spin. Rated: 3/4 Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Colo K Personally I love Ghosts American Version!! Ghosts UK has an "ick" factor I do NOT care for! Ghosts UK caters to the oddball Yuk factor that todays 20 and early 30 something's find Hilarious! Sorry NOT sorry! Grossness is Not funny in my book! Ghosts USA has good storylines based on the backgrounds of the ghosts and the running of a hotel…..The Entire Premise of the show…. I give it a 4.5 stars for "I don't want to miss an episode and if I do I'm recording" ghosts UK meh I'll watch if no other good show is on!!!! Just sayin… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Dan W I have enjoyed the American show that was derived from this version and the original "Ghosts" is just as fun. It recently made its U.S. premiere on CBS. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Owain W I'd recommend this series to anyone. Fantastic comedy from a fantastic cast Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Bernard D My wife absolutely loves this show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review John Y Silly and fun.
