Schitt's Creek

I've heard nothing but great things about Schitt's Creek for years but I still put off watching it for some reason. After reading the great reviews and ratings I finally gave in and watched it and so glad that I did because I absolutely loved it. It's just a flat out funny show, nothing really more to say than that. While it's not one of my favorite sitcoms ever it's still really funny and definitely worth watching. It's about a family the had more money than they knew what to do with but then lost it all over night. The only thing they retained was a small hillbilly town and they had to move there and the difference between their previous world and the world they live in now is what makes this so funny. There's a reason this show won so many awards and that's because it's freaking hilarious! Give it a chance and I promise you'll like it, it just might take a few episodes.

Apparently not for everyone, but I can not get enough of it. I HATED the ads on Netflix, HATED!, but somehow I finally got around to watching an episode....instantly my new favourite show.

Cast is stellar, offbeat quirky humour is my jam. Main cast and side characters fit so well together, people you don't need a laugh track to tell you when something is funny.

The shared mannerisms between the Rose family are one of my favourite things about this show, you could almost believe they grew up around each other. Consistent story line, sweet heartfelt moments, genuinely funny at times, horribly cringey at others.

As someone who has never reviewed anything before, (was it hard to tell?), I felt compelled to share my love for this show.

A couple of years ago, a friend raved about this series but I didn't pay it any attention. Then I recall seeing glimpses from award season where they won 9 emmys, and I still didn't give it much thought.

Cut to a few weeks ago when this showed up on my list of series'. (I'm in Greece and we have a device that has every network, movie, series', television from all over the world in one, it's a bit hard to explain). Anyway, I thought I would give this a go and I was absolutely floored as to HOW good this is! Laugh out loud funny and completely my style of humour. I absolutely adore every character but I especially love the character Moira's amazing dialect, vocabulary, witty expressions etc. So funny!

My husband also got hooked onto this and we RARELY watch the same series', so when we put our little one to bed at night after a long day, watching this together is something we so look forward to!

We're on season four so far and I know I will be absolutely gutted when we finish the show, I don't think there is anything else remotely funny or brilliant. The last show I felt such enthusiasm for was Catastrophe with Sharon Horgan.

Huge respect to the whole cast for the brilliance they pulled off.

The first season or two I didn't like this show that much. I thought nothing happened in the plot and it wasn't that funny. Season 3 and on I was obsessed with the show and I'm now rewatching. I think ANYONE could watch this show and enjoy it, just give it time. It's so funny and even better on a rewatch. The peak in my opinion is the Cabaret storyline in season five. I'm a huge theatre nerd and seeing theatre really help someone gain confidence made me soooo happy. Additionally, the character Alexis has some of the best character growth I've ever seen on tv. Everyone in the show is phenomenal and there's not an episode that I don't like. Schitts Creek is simply the best!!!

I must admit to really struggling to get into this show in the beginning. After Season 1, I couldn't work out why the reviews were so good, I just wasn't finding it that funny, and wasn't keen on the characters, but I knew I had to keep watching. I think the mistake I made was expecting it to be as laugh out loud as something like Modern Family for example. With Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy who have made me laugh so much with things like Best In Show and a Mighty Wind I was expecting the same thing. But then it just clicked, subtle jokes, characters that become more and more lovable each episode, and really touching moments which have made me shed a tear on more than one occasion. By season five I was feeling sad that there was only going to be one more season after this. This is so well written, and the first time I've seen Dan Levy in anything, and he is just brilliant. If you're thinking of switching off, don't, keep going!
