Based on a BBC show of the same name, CBS Ghosts just finished its first season. Streaming on Paramount Plus, fans have seen this comedy show go from hilarious to downright heart-wrenching, all in the span of single episodes.
The ghosts in the show can be tough to co-habit with, as Sam and Jay know all too well. Which ghosts, though, would be the most unbearable to live (or die) with? While all the ghosts are lovable characters, some ghosts are better than others. From chipper Pete to cynical Isaac, from loud Alberta to quiet Sasappis, from proper Hetty to scandalous Trevor, fans are wondering how the ghosts rank up.
Trevor
Trevor from the CBS sitcom Ghosts
Trevor would be the most unbearable ghost to be around, for half the world, that is. A businessman from the 1990s, Trevor died while having sex, making him pants-less for his entire afterlife. He is sexist, spending most of his screen time objectifying women.
Hetty

Hetty, while being vastly different from Trevor, still isn’t much better than him to be around. Much of this, similarly to Trevor, has to do with misogyny, though hers is internalized. Anyone who lives with Hetty would also have to pray they’re not Irish, because Hetty hates them, too.
Isaac

Isaac died of dysentery during the American Revolution, and as a result, when he is walked through, the person smells a fart. If this wasn’t bad enough, he is also extremely full of himself. Isaac can come across as arrogant, and he tries to be cunning in that he will use underhanded means to get his way.
Alberta

Alberta was a lounge singer who died from poison in the 1920s. She is sweet and charming, though she can be hard to deal with for people that live with her. All she ever wanted was to be famous, and it’s all she ever talks about, too.
Thorfinn

Thorfinn is a hilarious caricature of a Viking, and he died after he was abandoned by his fellow Vikings in North America. He’s close to Alberta in ranking because, while he is fun and interesting, he also has a tendency to be annoying sometimes.
Flower

Flower is a hippie who got mauled to death by a bear in the late 1960s. She is an underrated character in that she can get forgotten in favor of some of the bigger personalities on the show. She is generally a happy person and enjoys spending her time chasing butterflies around the grounds.
Sasappis

Sasappis is a Native American of the Lenape Tribe who died in the 1500s. He is level-headed and generally more mature than the other ghosts of the house. He respects Sam and Jay and is respected in return.
Pete

The most likable in the show is Pete, the scout leader who got an arrow to the neck in the 1980s. He is cheerful and the kindest of all the ghosts. Throughout the course of the series, he learns how to stand up for himself, as audiences cheer him on.
