The US version of Ghosts: not terrible!
RESPECTRES TO THE US
Rob Graham, email I’ve been very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the American remake of Ghosts as I have grown very fond of the original BBC comedy series in the last few years. This has turned into one of the best American remakes of any British show. Like a lot of people I was very sceptical when they announced it. I think it helped having some of the original creators and producers involved with the remake. The pilot episode was a carbon copy of the British pilot but it has gone on to do its own thing – even though the ghosts are copies of the originals – and it’s a light, warm, funny fantasy comedy series with likeable characters and a good cast. I’m surprised it’s on BBC iPlayer.
