Netflix is ​​known for offering a wealth of content that quickly gains popularity , but it also has some gems in its catalogue that, in the beginning, went unnoticed. This is the case of a series that, although it started with a modest audience, is now among the most watched on the platform.

" Ghosts ," created by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, follows Samantha (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), a young couple who inherit a rundown mansion. Upon moving in, they discover that the house is inhabited by ghosts from different eras and backgrounds. After an accident, Samantha gains the ability to see and communicate with these spirits, which complicates and enriches her daily life.

The series, which has two seasons, fuses comedy with the supernatural, offering a fresh take on the genre. It began as a CBS series, but its arrival on Netflix has significantly expanded its audience. Today, it is among the most watched, standing out for its unique humor and endearing characters. It currently maintains a 91% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting a positive reception from both critics and viewers.

Part of this is due to the way it combines light comedy with emotional moments and the natural chemistry between its characters. The spirits that inhabit the mansion, played by a talented cast, add a touch of humor and magic that has managed to capture a diverse audience.

Critics have praised "Ghosts" for its originality and ability to blend comedy with supernatural elements. Jennifer Armstrong of The Wrap noted that the series "scares with charm and laughs... It's not here to explore the deep implications of life after death, and that's fine."

AV Club 's Max Gao noted that "with a successful blend of comedy and heartfelt humor, 'Ghosts' has avoided the typical second-season slump, breathing new life into an old premise." In short, "Ghosts" has managed to transcend its CBS origins and cement itself as a global phenomenon on Netflix, thanks to its unique blend of humor and the supernatural.
