I think after rewatching Ghosts CBS and now doing a Ghosts BBC rewatch the difference is stark even in the first few minutes of the original pilot and while I think that's a good thing in courting similar but different audiences, I do worry that the CBS version may have sacrificed some of the quality the BBC version has in pursuit of separating themselves from the original
I do feel that the CBS version falls too far into the cheese and while I appreciate their approach to the camp of the situation and the self aware humor, I think sometimes the dialogue doesn't work and the jokes fall flat and the actors performances are too over the top, because the dialogue isn't as naturally well written as it is in the BBC version. I think the two versions have done a good job of separating themselves in order to both feel unique in their own way which is why I hesitate to compare them as they've both come to occupy different genres, but the fact of the matter is the BBC version has the better writing and that will always make for the better show, which is why I'd probably recommend the BBC version to people and let them discover the Amwrican version on their own ๐ญ๐ญ
