For a YA series, it pulls off these types of emotional themes without seeming forced or insincere. School Spirits will reel you in with its overarching mystery, but it will keep you hooked with its heart.
We were pleasantly surprised by how mature of a show School Spirits was, not just because of List’s steady lead performance, but because it doesn’t delve in the current cliches that drag down most high-school dramas. In other words, no house parties and no sex scenes (yet); it’s just a fun, ghostly mystery to watch.
Without losing sight of the sorrow of Maddie’s story, “School Spirits” manages to be surprisingly sparky and fun — proof positive that there are new stories to tell about the institution no one would ever want to be stuck in for their entire afterlife.
It’s addictive, it’s funny, it’s charming, and it’s heartwarming, all the elements that make a teen drama worth watching.
"School Spirits," which recalls "The Lovely Bones," albeit with a far less dreadful tone, is entertaining and Ms. List ("Cobra Kai") is magnetic. But her advantage is having only one role to play. ... Those around Ms. List are walking actorly tightropes. ... You'd like to know the filmmakers' philosophy about immortality, because there seems a very fine line between the physical world and that of the deceased, who are actually a lot more fun.
Middling. ... Sometimes the familiar trappings of the high-school genre can open the door for a show to do wilder and more inventive things than more allegedly mature shows. School Spirits, unfortunately, takes no such liberties.
