Marley's Ghosts (2015–2016) User Reviews

Unusual, throwback of a series, it's great fun.

Marley is a beautiful woman, a judge, and a secret, she's been having an affair with colleague Michael behind her husband Adam's back. Just as she's about to confess the affair Marley starts choking on a chicken bone, her drunken husband intercedes and removes the bone, only to choke and die himself. Michael and local Vicar soon follow, dying, and Marley's gift, she can still see them.

A brilliant show, like Rentaghost for the year 2015, it was genuinely funny, utterly original and imaginative, I can see huge scope for this show, (if it's recommissioned) there are so many ways they can go with this.

The eternally beautiful Sarah Alexander is a wonderful comedy actress, I'm assuming she has a portrait in her attic which is ageing and rotting! She's showed her worth many times, must re- watch Worst week of my life.

Nicholas Burns, Jo Joyner and of course John Hannah were wonderful. Absolutely loved Mina Anwar, a true comic performer, seemingly reprising her role from the Sarah Jane Adventures, as the dotty neighbour living opposite strange goings on.

Please please please recommission it please!!! 8/10

Good cast, clever writing

Sarah Alexander, John Hannah, and.Jo Joyner do an especially good job.

Yeah, it's a "gimmick" show in that only Marley can.see her ghost friends and hilarity ensues, but it's cleverly done and the cast is good. It's only nine episodes. The show didn't last long enough to run out of steam.

Such a shame it was on Gold.

If this show had been on a main channel, it would have been a great success.

If you've enjoyed the BBC1 series "Ghosts", the premise isn't wholly different. A woman who can see the ghosts around her, the difference is that the two main ghosts in her life are her recently departed husband and her lover.

The first episode drags a little. But once the whole premise is set, it picks up pace with humorous situations and a stellar cast. It's just a pity it was on GOLD and so no one ever saw it,

Since there aren't any reviews for this, evidently it didn't register on anyone's radar. The first episode promised more of the same: invisible ghosts popping up all the time so it makes the heroine look crazy. How many different ways can they do this? So rather than slog through the predictable wacky antics, I'll pass.
