i dont have this as a coherent argument but there's something about bbc ghosts that is just so much more. genuine? than the american one. and I only watched like 2 episodes of the cbs one but still. to me i think it suffered from that marvel-ification "he's behind me isnt he?" wink wonk cheesy like. exaggeration in a way that wasnt purposeful or sincere. the whole everyone is beautiful and no one is horny situation. whereas in bbc ghosts the whole show is a little bit rough around the edges and ugly and imperfect in a way that makes it infinitely more endearing. I'd rather watch a theater production where someone occasionally misses a cue but the people care and have something to say, rather than a perfectly airbrushed and photoshopped one that talks a lot and says nothing. yknow?

#idk there's just a different vibe entirely #when mary walks through someone they smell burning because she was burned at the stake #and alison says 'i think your toast is burning'#but when whoever walks through whats her name. sam.#they're like 'WHOA did you FART' *90s sound effect*#like its just. so much less. anything.#less meaningful less funny less real. less.#anyway #you can watch the american one i dont care.#i just know theres a reason i dont like it and i cant really put a finger on it #but this is a big part of it #bbc ghosts #im not gonna tag the cbs one no hate
