Hey TV watchers! My name is Michel Ghanem, and I\u2019m a freelance television critic and writer based in Vancouver, Canada. Some of you may know me by my Instagram moniker, TVScholar<\/a>, where I\u2019ve been sharing the shows I\u2019ve been watching on social media and in my Substack newsletter <\/a>with a television-loving online community.<\/p>\n

I watch approximately 160 seasons of TV a year, and am grateful every day that I get to live and breathe a medium I love so much. I\u2019m thrilled you\u2019re here to embark on this journey with me with Trust Me, I Watch Everything<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Every two weeks, I\u2019ll be sharing the shows worth your TV time and how to tune in.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s officially the holiday season, and I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m reaching for as many comfort watches as I can get my hands on. I\u2019ve got a few recommendations. Ghosts is one of my most reliable sitcoms, and it will be airing through December on CBS. Over on streaming, A Man on the Inside returns for a second wholesome season on Netflix. A less comforting and more addictive binge, All Her Fault marks Sarah Snook\u2019s return to television since Succession concluded. Finally, all four seasons of The Big C have been added to Netflix; it\u2019s a heartfelt dramedy that will resonate with anyone whose life has been impacted by a terminal cancer diagnosis. And there\u2019s much more where that came from. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

\u23f0 Tune in<\/strong>My recommendation: <\/strong>Ghosts<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Why you should watch it: <\/strong>Ghosts, now in its fifth season, is one of my favorite sitcoms to have on my weekly rotation. It never fails to delight and hits all the best notes: It\u2019s entertaining and light on its feet without being afraid to throw in a sexual innuendo or a darker plot twist once in a while.<\/p>\n

Adapted from a British comedy with the same name, we follow Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), a perky young couple who move into an inherited dusty mansion in upstate New York with dreams of turning it into a bed and breakfast. When Sam has a near-death tumble down the stairs, she is suddenly able to see a crew of eight quirky ghosts who have been haunting the premises for centuries.<\/p>\n

Some of the ghosts have passed away more recently, like Trevor (Asher Grodman), a \u201890s finance bro who is stuck spending purgatory without pants on because that\u2019s how he died. Some are much, much older \u2014 like Thorfinn (Devan Chandler Long), a gruff Viking. My personal favorites are Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), a stern Gilded Age-era woman who\u2019s obsessed with cocaine, and Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), a jazz singer from the roaring \u201820s.<\/p>\n

The show could spend all of its time at the mansion, focusing on each ghost\u2019s backstories and finding new ones on the property (like the cholera ghosts who hide in the basement), but the writers are clever in the way they slowly introduce more world-building as the series goes on. Sometimes, Sam will meet a new ghost when she\u2019s out and about, for example. We also learn that ghosts can get \u201csucked off\u201d to the afterlife if they\u2019ve finally concluded their time haunting Earth.<\/p>\n

Many of the weekly broadcast shows are gearing up for their mid-season break around this time of year, but Ghosts is set to air through December \u2014 including its usual holiday specials, which are always a delight. Five seasons in, it\u2019s still firing on all cylinders. I shared my Paramount+ login with my parents last Christmas, and they laughed until they cried at some memorable episodes. Fun for all ages!<\/p>\n

How to watch:<\/strong>\u00a0New episodes of Ghosts air Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS and stream the next day on Paramount+<\/a>.<\/p>\n
