As the 2021-2022 Cable TV season starts winding down, I present the first show to wrap it’s season with CBS’s remake of a British show, Ghosts. This show falls into a rare category for sitcoms in that, in its first season it knows exactly what it wants to be and crafts one of the best opening seasons of a sitcom I’ve ever seen. Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar are such a delight together and I love seeing a happy and healthy couple that understand each other so well. Brandon Scott Jones, Danielle Pinnock, Richie Moriarty, and Asher Grodman are fantastic as the main stay ghosts. These four are just so much fun and have great running gags! Sheila Carrasco, Devan Chandler Long, Rebecca Wisocky, and Román Zaragoza round out the last of the main ghosts, they just don’t appear in every episode. Every one of the ghosts is so well cast and they all work so incredibly well together. This is truly one of the best ensembles I’ve seen, perfectly selling the idea that only one person in the room can see them all. For a first season there are so many running gags already and I love them all. The bonds these characters form with each other are so sweet and everyone gets an episode to shine and fun subplot arcs. It is such a diverse and fun cast that do a good job selling that they are from whatever era they died in. But seeing them grow from those eras and embrace the modern world is very entertaining. The writers did a great job explaining the rules of their ghosts without making it feel like a big dump of exposition. It makes me beyond happy that CBS appears to see the appeal of the show because it looks like it has already been picked up for a second season. Season one of Ghosts was just an absolutely heartwarming, lighthearted, hilarious, fun, and delightful start to the series and I am very excited to see where it goes next. This gets a rare score for a sitcom first season, Ghosts is getting a big 9/10 from me. Please give this a watch if you can, I can’t see anyone regretting it! -Tyler.
