Ghosts- Season 2

8/10

In season 2 of this comedy, Samantha Arondekar (played by iZombie's Rose McIver), who can see ghosts after she hit her head, and her husband Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) finally open up the country house Samantha inherited as a bread and breakfast.

This season's much like the last: a good mix of solid jokes and distinct, enjoyable characters. The majority of the cast remains great. I don't have time to go into them all, but I think the one who shines the most is Jay. Ambudkar has such great comic delivery, and his character steals the show with his nerdy enthusiasm toward the ghost world and the way he reacts to all the chaos around him.

There are a couple things that are wearing a bit thin: 1) Jay and Samantha doing a poor job of covering for themselves when Samantha is hearing the ghosts or the ghosts have put the two into a situation is repeated way too often. You'd think the couple would've learned to how to do a better job of posturing. 2) The ghosts being selfish and constantly pushing Samantha into doing stuff. Sure, they usually feel bad or see the consequences of their actions when things go too far, but it's so repetitive. You want Samantha to just say no once or a while (admittedly we wouldn't have much of a story there).

Overall, the show's still pretty funny. Recommended.
