Ghost Whisperer is een Amerikaanse fantasieserie van de CBS. De serie ging in première op 23 september 2005.
Vanaf haar jeugd wist Melinda Gordon dat ze doden kon zien en met ze kan praten. Aardgebonden geesten die nog niet zijn overgegaan. Deze geesten vragen Melinda om hulp bij het doorgeven van boodschappen, omdat ze door hun plotselinge overlijden bijvoorbeeld geen afscheid konden nemen. Geesten vragen op voor Melinda slechte tijdstippen haar hulp. Zeker nu ze verhuisd en getrouwd is met Jim Clancy. Ook heeft ze een antiekwinkel waarmee ze druk is. Andrea Moreno, Melinda's zakenpartner in de antiekwinkel en vriendin, is erg gefascineerd door Melinda's gave. Hoewel Melinda haar gave af en toe kan vervloeken, helpt ze altijd diegene die om hulp vraagt.
This is a really nice series about a woman who can communicate with the dead. Each episode is a separate episode where Melinda Gordon(Jennifer Love Hewitt) helps the dead 'cross over'
Of all the medium-related series, I think Ghost Whisperer is the best and that is of course because of Jennifer Love Hewitt. She really is one of those "you love her or you hate her" people. I belong to the first category. Jennifer herself lost her dad early, just like her character in the series, Melinda Gordon, and I suspect she has invested a lot in this series, since she also produced it herself from the second season. And the series became a success! Some episodes are a bit inferior, I admit, but the best episodes are really top television. Unpretentious and with a heart for the characters and small-town life in the US. It is also touching to see how Jim (but also the actor who portrays him) operates in the shadow of his wife Melinda and her many many ghosts. His role is actually limited to supporter, sounding board and sex partner. Very recognizable for all strong men behind a successful woman (grin). I have already seen this series twice and will undoubtedly watch it again, because it is simply my favorite guilty pleasure series of all time. I can't get enough of Grandview, of Melinda and the ghosts that populate her world...
