Samantha inherits a fabulous old mansion house, when she suffers an accident in her new place, she comes round and can see faces from the past, The Ghosts. Now, to address the elephant in the room, I am crazy about the original, it is a favourite show, and I came to this with a degree of scepticism, however, having raced my way through the series, my opinions are pretty much all favourable. I was expecting direct reworkings of The British episodes, and one or two have that element, but largely each story is original, and wonderfully done. Some ghosts are direct replacements, others are very much original, Flower for example, she's pretty unique. Favourite ghost for me, has to be Thorfinn, and it seems the producers loved him too, he gets his fair share of big storylines, Devan Chandler Long is just wonderful. You could very easily race through the whole series, it is that watchable, highlights for me included Thor's funeral, Trevor's trousers and Alberta's fan, but trust me it is loaded with gems. Go in with an open mind, give it a chance, you may just be surprised, I'm not often impressed with remakes, reinterpretations, whatever you call them, but this one works on most levels. 8/10.
