A noticeable difference between the movie and the series is the absence of the house's original owners. But we can ignore that and luxuriate in the sheer weirdness that "Beetlejuice" celebrates. I always got the feeling that BJ was the only person who truly understood Lydia; her emotionally vacant dad and empty-headed stepmother never pay attention to anything, so it makes sense that Lydia befriends BJ.
Anyway, it's always fun to see BJ's and Lydia's adventures in the domain of everything that's creepy, gross, and otherwise undesirable. And you gotta love the references to pop culture, although the tykes won't get those.
Lots of fun.
score 7/10
