Which Version Of The Show Has Better Ghosts?
As many fans know , Ghostson CBS is based on the UK show of the same name created by the BBC.Ghostsis also a rarified example of a US remake of a UK show where both version are more - or - less equally regarded - a exploit few show beyondShamelessandThe Officehave managed to take out off . One debate that continues to rage on in theGhostsfandom , however , is which version in reality has the honest ghosts .
Comparing the two in this regard is difficult in many ways , since several of the ghosts in the CBS show are more - or - less the same character as their UK counterparts . Multipleghosts inGhostsUSare look at from the UK show , such as Thorfinn , Hetty , and Alberta . They are based on Robin ( a neanderthal ) , Fanny , and Kitty , respectively . While there are some changes made ( Thorfinn is well young than Robin , for exercise ) , they still serve the same rough tale intent .
Ultimately , which ghosts viewing audience prefer will be subjective , as for all their similarities there are many difference too . However , these difference are less attributable to the ghosts themselves as they are the Cartesian product of the world-wide tonicity of both version . The UK adaptation ofGhostsis broadly regarded as the darker of the two , and research emotional territorial dominion the CBS version in the US does n’t really cover . The USGhostsis more of a lighthearted situation comedy , result in spirits that are perhaps funnier , but are somewhat less fleshed out .
However , many spectator in the US also prefer the CBSGhostsspecters because they ’re base on American history , rather than British . This definitely go a farseeing way to making them more relatable for US audience . Whether this technically makes them comfortably is problematical , but it does think that the bulk of the fans ofGhostson CBS prefer the wraith in the US version to the original .
