Featured reviews
I really expected this to be a teen angst show that was a distraction, but by the end of the first episode I was invested. Character development is quick and engaging for the main character and her living friends. The other "school spirits" start to follow quickly in other episodes, as well as other living characters.
Someone mentioned in another review about how the dead characters were able to intersect with things in the world, but that's actually explained in the first episode. There aren't many plot holes I've really found, or at least not many I can't overlook so far.
At this point, the show is a great mystery with an interesting twist that in looking forward to watching each week.

This has been an interesting show. I enjoy the school setting and the afterlife aspect. There are plenty of questions i have. Like why do the kids have to stay at the school? Is there a heaven or god? And i hope we will get answers for them. The show reminds me a lot of the video game life is strange. While it's not exactly the same they both have similarities. They are both set in school. They both involve a missing girl. And both involve their best friends trying to find out what happened. And they both have supernatural elements. The actors seem to be doing a good job. I'm looking forward to seeing where this will go.
As an avid paranormal lover, I was ready to be let down by another "stupid high school ghost show" - but I was completely, and delightfully, wrong!
This show kept me enthralled since the very first scene, on my seat wondering who Maddie's killer was. The balance of suspense, humor, and sadness was perfect. A few scenes brought me to tears. There were some moments where the acting or jokes made by the characters made me roll my eyes, but like I've said, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The big reveal/cliffhanger at the end of episode 8 really threw me for a loop! I am looking forward to another season.

I'll start by saying I'm not much of a connoisseur of teenage drama shows. I started watching on a boredom whim, and binged the entire show in less than two days! The story line, is surprisingly complex. The character development is slow, methodical and interesting. I was most surprised by Peyton List in this. I squirmed at her character in Kobra Kai, however clearly now that be determined it was a bad script, and nothing to do with her acting. She is likeable, relatable and a generally lovely person in this. Which makes the plot twists all the more compelling. She makes for a fantastic leading lady. The character Simon, to me is both the most opaque. I can understand his motives, yet he is a total mystery of the best kind. I know nothing of his back story. But I find myself wondering about his home life, what atmosphere would allow him to thrive. Great show, I will go 8/10 as I like it.
This show is about ghosts who haunt a high school, and all of the ghosts are from different eras, so you have a 50s ghost, a 70s ghost, a 90s ghost etc, and then you have the lead character who has just recently died and is trying to figure out how. All the ghosts have a support group for each other that meets in the high school, and they all take care of each other. I binged all six episodes (so far) of this yesterday, and I could honestly watch it again today. It's very charming and emotional and cute, but also has lots of suspense and a murder mystery going on that will keep you guessing. All of the actors are so lovely in their roles, I've been moved to tears several times in six episodes, and I don't cry easy. Great for all ages, and I hope it gets a second season!
