Hear us out: ghosts<\/em><\/span>the charming CBS sitcom about a freelance journalist and an unemployed chef who inherit a quaint country estate inhabited by dramatic denizens who died on the property, is actually a workplace comedy.<\/p>\n

It’s been five months since audiences\u2014and the rest of the spirited specters\u2014watched Sam (Rose McIver) and her doting husband, Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), fall through the floor of their foyer after welcoming their first guests to Woodstone B&B, the quaint country estate that they hoped to turn into a family business. The cold open of Thursday’s premiere deals with the most obvious question: Can Jay, the man who believed his wife could see ghosts after suffering a life-changing head injury, now see the rest of his housemates himself? (No spoilers here, but the decision that the writers made will ultimately keep the high-concept premise running for years to come.)<\/p>\n

Fast forward a few weeks, and Sam and Jay are preparing for their second<\/em> reopening after their first guests, who witnessed the fall, canceled and left them a one-star review on Yelp. Determined to start off on the right foot this time around, a tightly wound Sam enlists some of the ghosts to spy on an overly critical, middle-aged couple that has a history of leaving scathing reviews on the same app. This does not go over well with Jay, who rightfully raises the ethical concerns of spying on guests during their stay. As onscreen husband and wife, Ambudkar and McIver shared an agreeable (albeit toothless) chemistry in the pilot, but the evolution of their witty repartee makes their characters’ relationship feel more lived in and worth rooting for.<\/p>\n
