Looking for something that actually makes you laugh, available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Philo and AMC Plus Apple TV Channel ? Blithe Spirit delivers. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Dan Stevens — stay for everyone else around them.

Blithe Spirit arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Blithe Spirit does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A spiritualist medium holds a seance for a writer suffering from writers block but accidentally summons the spirit of his deceased first wife which leads to an increasingly complex love triangle with his current wife of five years. The chemistry Dan Stevens and Leslie Mann bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2020. The timing in Blithe Spirit is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Blithe Spirit. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Dan Stevens anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
