don't know if it's because I saw the US version first (though I know the UK version was actually first) but I've yet to really connect with any of the UK ghosts, and a few of them...kind of annoy me.
I also only saw the US version first(love they film the show in Eastern Canada). I agree with you, that some UK ghosts annoying. Maybe it's just me, there is too many of them. US cut down version of the cast, is good for me. I do like Pat, (Pete's our version) I just seen the two episodes so far. My CBC app, also has the UK Ghosts seasons. So I have two options where to watch it.
Then again, it's early days (for me) in the show, and there were a couple of the US ghosts (Trevor and Flower) that annoyed me until I got to know their backstories.
ITA. The writing really good, as they developed both characters. I am hoping for the same for UK Ghosts.
