Critics Reviews

James Poniewozik TIME Magazine There's a mechanical problem to Ghost Whisperer's setup too. You end up with a lot of touching scenes whose drama is squelched by Melinda's having to repeat what the dead say. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Morning Call (Allentown, PA) Despite excellent production values, superior cameo casting and Hewitt's ample, um, physical virtues, I can't watch "Ghost Whisperer" without a visceral reaction resembling nausea. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer The problem is a lack of depth; "Joan of Arcadia," the series this is replacing, had heartfelt moments and significant emotion behind its storylines. Whereas this has Love telling ghosties to head for the light. Sep 23, 2005 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel The sooner this series passes into the light, the better. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Roger Catlin Hartford Courant Ladled with equal parts corn and schmaltz, "Ghost Whisperer" wants to be scary, too. But it fails on so many levels. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review People Staff People Magazine It treats the grief of the living (and the dead) with a reverence that's undeniably mawkish, but so what? It feels genuine and tinged with a sad acquiescence of the gulf between here and beyond. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
