Just finished Ghosts (the CBS version). Nice small, funny show without high stakes. (feddit.org)

Samantha (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) inherit a country estate and plan to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast, but they soon realize it is haunted by a great number of previous residents in this comedy based on the BBC series of the same name.

Nothing ground breaking, but a well made show with a nice vibe and humor.

A few episodes go into the background of some ghosts and make their more appealing.

A good show to watch just to unwind.

How does it compare to the British show? I watched it, but my partner got bored and I finished it on my own. Is this one a carbon copy or does it branch out on its own more?

I love the US show and could not get into the UK show at all.

They're very different. The US version is fun and cheerful, while the original just seemed mean. I watched 2 or 3 episodes of the British version before I lost interest. My wife could only do 1 episode.

IDK. This coming from a Unitedstatian, maybe the British find the US version childish or something?

I had the opposite experience. We watched the UK version and really liked it. Tried to watch the US version and couldn't get into it. Didn't really like the characters and humor as much. I'm sure whichever version you start with will likely be the one you end up liking the best.

Yeah, that makes sense.

The lack of chemistry between Rose and Jay also stood out.

From what I've heard, the american version is more lighthearted and has less drama

I haven't watched the British version, from what I read there are quite different. There is a ghost that is not present in the US version, and apparently quite a few secondary characters were created for the US version.

Hopefully someone who watched both can jump in.
