CBS’s Sleeper Hit Sitcom of the Decade Is Officially Free on Streaming
CBS’s Ghosts, a sitcom that premiered in 2021, is now available to stream for free on Pluto TV. The show represents a successful British-to-American adaptation, created by showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman based on the original BBC series of the same name.
Unlike many American adaptations of British comedies that struggle with cultural translation or feel unnecessarily redundant, Ghosts manages to preserve the charm and spirit of its source material while establishing its own distinct identity. The series demonstrates how thoughtful adaptation can honor the original premise while adding fresh creative elements that resonate with American audiences.
Described as a sleeper hit and one of the decade’s standout sitcoms, Ghosts has carved out a notable place in CBS’s programming catalog since its debut. The show’s availability on Pluto TV expands its reach to a broader audience, offering free access to viewers who may have missed it during its initial broadcast run. This move underscores the show’s recognition within the entertainment industry and its appeal as a quality comedic series worth revisiting or discovering.
