I do not, as a rule, binge-watch. I have a limit of about three hours in me at any given time. The show in question is the American version of 'Ghosts', which is based on the British series, but I find it lighter and more delightful. In other words, more fun. It's not that I don't get the humour of the British series, it just seems that the characters are more relatable in this one, which may be a cultural thing, I don't know, but also I can't even begin to understand Robin in the British one (point of fact, he is a Caveman of sorts, so there's that, whereas the American has a Viking). I'm also not quite so fond of Georgian architecture, so I prefer the house in the American version.
The nicest thing about them, though, is that they are tight little stories. Running time is about 20 minutes on streaming. Yep, that's it. Both are classified as sitcoms, but they aren't the type we had when I was growing up, forced with a laugh track; I really just have fun watching. And this one is easy for me to binge; I feel like I'm progressing without getting bogged down, you know how other people must feel with regular shows. :)
Anyway, I'm really enjoying it. I like it as each character's backstory is being expanded. My friend just put me through a quiz, and of all things, I came out as the Robber-Baron Era Lady of the House Hetty, which surprised me. He did too, which did not surprise me, so I guess he trained me well. But my answers were all over the place, so I expected a different outcome.
