About Ghosts
Samantha and Jay inherit a crumbling country estate and decide to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast, banking on a fresh start and new income. The renovation is harder than they expect, and Samantha discovers something stranger than mold and leaky pipes, she can see and talk to the house's previous residents. Those spirits range from awkward to outrageous, and they hang around the halls, offering unwanted advice, old grudges, and occasional help with guests. The show mixes slapstick with quiet moments as the living try to run a business while coexisting with an unruly supernatural household, and Samantha ends up as the only one who can mediate between the dead and the living.
Created by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, Ghosts premiered in 2021. The series showcases a tight ensemble cast led by Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar, and it moved quickly from concept to a full network run.
The series hasn’t been a major awards magnet, but reviewers and industry watchers have repeatedly highlighted the cast performances and the show's warmth. It’s drawn attention from critics and viewers alike, even if it hasn’t swept major trophies, and individual actors have earned praise for their comic timing and character work.
Ghosts has built a visible fan community who respond to its quirky characters and running gags. The array of distinct ghost personalities gives the show a lot of visual and comedic hooks, and it’s become a frequent topic on social feeds where viewers share favorite moments, character headcanons, and costume bits. The setting and tone make it easy to clip and share standout scenes.
Critical reception tends to be favorable, averaging near an 8 out of 10 from audiences. Reviewers point to the ensemble chemistry, playful scripts, and the way the series mixes humor with sincere moments about loss, legacy, and unexpected family. The show keeps things light while letting characters wrestle with past regrets, friendship, and what it means to care for a place and the people tied to it.
