What to watch this weekend: ‘Ghosts’ is dead funny
'Ghosts' on Netflix is dead funny, with outrageous characters and supernatural slapstick. Here's why this sitcom is worth watching.
Ghosts, a hilarious series available on Netflix, has captured the imagination of viewers with its unique premise. Set in a dilapidated New York mansion, the show follows a young couple who inherit the property and decide to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast. Little do they know, the house is already inhabited by a diverse group of historical ghosts, each with their own quirks and personalities.
The main characters, Sam and Jay, experience a supernatural twist when Sam survives a near-death experience and gains the ability to see and communicate with the ghosts. While Sam can interact with these ethereal beings, Jay remains oblivious to their presence, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and interactions.
As the couple attempts to renovate the mansion and run their business, the ghosts relentlessly interfere with their daily lives, disrupting every aspect of their existence. From a Viking ghost to a Prohibition-era jazz singer, each ghost has their own spot in the mansion and vehemently defends their territory against potential intruders.
The series combines elements of slapstick humor and witty dialogue, creating a unique blend of entertainment. While the first two episodes may feel slightly overwhelming due to the unconventional premise and over-the-top performances, patience pays off as the show quickly gains its footing. The dialogue is clever and smart, allowing for a level of sophistication that sets it apart from other sitcoms.
Fans of shows like Alf, Santa Clarita Diet, and The Haunted Hotel will undoubtedly appreciate the fresh and humorous take on the ghostly theme. The show successfully captures the essence of real escapism comedy, offering a light-hearted and entertaining experience without the need for heavy-handed life lessons.
So, if you're looking for a laugh-out-loud series that dares to defy conventions and embraces its absurdity, Ghosts is the perfect choice. Give it a chance, and you'll find yourself laughing at the over-the-top antics and clever writing that make this show truly unforgettable.
