#they're like 'WHOA did you FART' *90s sound effect*

[natjennie]

i dont have this as a coherent argument but there's something about bbc ghosts that is just so much more. genuine? than the american one. and I only watched like 2 episodes of the cbs one but still. to me i think it suffered from that marvel-ification "he's behind me isnt he?" wink wonk cheesy like. exaggeration in a way that wasnt purposeful or sincere. the whole everyone is beautiful and no one is horny situation. whereas in bbc ghosts the whole show is a little bit rough around the edges and ugly and imperfect in a way that makes it infinitely more endearing. I'd rather watch a theater production where someone occasionally misses a cue but the people care and have something to say, rather than a perfectly airbrushed and photoshopped one that talks a lot and says nothing. yknow?

#idk there's just a different vibe entirely #when mary walks through someone they smell burning because she was burned at the stake #and alison says 'i think your toast is burning' #but when whoever walks through whats her name. sam. #they're like 'WHOA did you FART' *90s sound effect* #like its just. so much less. anything. #less meaningful less funny less real. less. #anyway #you can watch the american one i dont care. #i just know theres a reason i dont like it and i cant really put a finger on it #but this is a big part of it #bbc ghosts #im not gonna tag the cbs one no hate
