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.
