Although "Abbott Elementary" probably attracts the most attention and recognition Among the Sitkoms live by action in 2025, CBS's "ghosts" still deserve their own. It is a comedy series for a couple who comes owned by Manor in the above New York and tries to turn it into a successful bed and breakfast.

There is only one complication: the house is filled with spirits, and wife Sam (Rose McIver) can see them. Husband, Jayei (Utkarch Ambutar), cannot see the spirits, but fortunately, he is the different man in the world. Not only did he believe his wife quickly, but also loaded effort to be beautiful with invisible viewers because they constantly interfere in the life of his and Sam.

What makes the work of "ghosts" is the way her premise allows him to throw the characters that would never be found normally in the same room. For example, the ghosts in Sam and Jayej's house include an indoor military officer who died during the Revolutionary War, a narrator of indigenous American, who died in 1593, the Viking who died more than a thousand years ago, and more modern spirits as they were on Trevor. Writers feel like that.

The most promising aspect of "spirits" is that, even after four seasons, still oppose the temptation to make Jayeus suffer his experience close to death and develop his own ability to see the spirits. If the series writers ever have no ideas, they can do so and guarantee at least the material worth another season. But although Jayei occasionally communicated with ghosts (and even saw one of them temporarily in an episode), the creatives of the show were otherwise kept away from any such shift of status quo. At the same time, they left the possibility open to down from the line; Hopefully, they will throw the jaye bone that deserves until the show begins to finish.

Similar to the "office" in front of her"Ghosts" is another American TV show that is not as original as you could have guessed. The original series "Ghosts" in the UK premiered in April 2019 and aired for five seasons (or 34 episodes in total). She has the same basic premise that includes a wife (Allison, played by Charlotte Richie), can see the spirits after nearly death, as long as her husband (Mike, a played by Kiel Smith-Wino), is trying to continue his best.

The differences between the shows remember those Between US and UK versions of "Office", In that British iteration is more ready to accept the darkness of its premise. American "ghosts", on the other hand, often gain the tragedy inherent in her spiritual characters, using humor to undermine what could be fatal hearty moments. British "ghosts" is simply more comfortable, allowing the audience to stay sad for a longer period when needed.

It is also ready to allow their main couple to have sharper fights during the series. Since Sam and Jayej are almost absurdly healthy and good at communication, Mike has a much harder time to adapt to how his wife spends all day talking to her invisible friends. The result is that the "ghosts" of the UK feel frightening, but the American version certainly makes the faithful escapist party.

For American fans who want Jayei to start watching spirits regularly, the British version does not offer much hope. Mike makes the whole show without seeing the spirits, which feels like a missed opportunity. Fortunately, the American version, with its 20+ seasons in the episode, will have more time to explore its zany premise from every possible angle. At some point during its six (or perhaps more) seasons, Jayei can find himself properly hanging out with all the spirits.
