Yooo

I am like 68?℅sure that you are French if you are not still whatttt is your opinion on the new French ghosts?? I have seen the episodes and have a lot of opinions,so tell me yourss

I am french! I finished the french ghosts just recently so here are my thoughts:

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

First, it's much more heavy toned and down to earth than the US ghosts. I understood that the og british and german ghosts are the same, honestly it's not the kind of series I personally like the most. I like the light hearted and whimsical US version.

And keeping on that tone, the US versions also has the ability to make us empathize with the ghosts from the get go. Where the ghosts are less present in the french versions, which makes the tender moments less impactful in the first episodes.

I'll use the example of Daniel and Pete. They're the scoot leaders with the arrow in the neck. First, Daniel's death is much more crude than Pete's. We see the hit and the whole 5 minutes of him trying to get to the hospital and dying, which is simply not funny and just made me sad! Where Pete immediately dies without empathizing how horrible his death is but doesn't make it less impactful of a death, just doesn't dwell on it enough for it to turn crude.

The US version's A plot is Pete and his wife, where in the FR version Daniel's death day and his family coming to visit in the B plot.

Pete's death day is very impactful and we see him discover his wife's affair and go through a whole range of emotion, Pete is the nicest character and seeing his pain is impactful because everyone is worried for him about it. We see his disappointment when his daughter doesn't come, even if its important for him he tries to stay understanding, which makes her arrival even more impactful because we know that's one thing that would make him happy. And finally when we see little Pete, it's truely a touching moment.

Coming from this episode to Daniel's, yeah it's disappointing. Daniel speaks of his death day to the rest of people but is ignored, he speaks to it to Alison (the living woman who sees ghosts) and he straight up tells her about discovering the affair, trying to turn it in a way it wasn't an affair but coming to term it was on his own in this same scene. We don't see his reaction other than quick anger, because he's not the focus of the episode. Therefor seeing his family at the end of the episode, didn't hit as much, and we discover that he has a grandson named Daniel through a dialog before we see the baby. It just doesn't hit as much.

But by the last 2 episodes, we empathise on the ghosts history and relationships much more. So it's much more touching.

SPOILERS LAST EPISODE SPOILERS SPOILERS

They introduce Isabelle, a kid ghost who seem to be a drown victim and the classic "creepy kid". The main ghosts reject her and call her ugly, when she literally does nothing wrong. At the end, as Alison ponders over what she will do with the castle and her upcoming baby, Isabelle comes to her and show her the room she used to live in. Alison tells her that she wish she could hug her, and Isabelle runs in her arms and they hug.

It's a very sweet moment that touched me deeply, because it's been built up between Isabelle, Alison's baby, the ghosts ect.

Now, still compairing the two versions I watched:

Humor: US ghosts being a sitcom they have gimmics, recurring jokes and punchline onto punchline. Which I like personally and the FR ghosts don't have that. So the humor feels less present, although the funny moments are VERY funny, I just wish they would do more light hearted moments to let the french humor shine.

Contruction: Where in the US ghosts, everything is fixed at the end and the projects goes well and they're happy with their decision. The FR ghosts grabs you everytime you have some hope and remind you how fucking stupid the decision of keeping the castle was. And where in the US ghosts, the ghosts are often the ones causing trouble, in France the troubles don't need a trigger LOL and the ghosts can't be blamed as much as the livings are.

Alison compaired to Sam: Now, from what I know from online discourse. I feel like alot of Americans would find fr Alison to be rude, let me tell you right now: she isn't. Sam is a people pleaser, she's trying so hard to be accepted she'll bend in 4 to please everyone else and be liked by everyone. Alison isn't like that, she's a strong headed woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to say no or be displeasing to the ghosts. But at the end, she's a very kind soul.

Overall, slow to start but worth it! Way too short tho, I really want more of it!
