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.

I had skipped over this show several times and have heard people raving about this show. My wife and I started watching this over the New Years weekend and have to say....WOW. This show is amazing! The writing is absolutely brilliant, the casting is perfect and I haven't found an episode yet (halfway through season 4) that I haven't laughed in. The old Riches to Rags storyline works brilliantly because at first, the Rose's are disgusted by everything. Throughout the show, they discover new selves after opening up to the town, it's people and the support of the community only seen in small town life. They all grow from their experiences on the show and they become such a lovable family.

The humor in this show is sublime. It is well-timed, sarcastic, dark and hysterical. David Rose (dan Levy) is the character that steals the show for me. His facial expressions, retorts and self awareness makes for an absolute riot of a time!

Listen to the reviews on this show and give it a chance...It definitely will not leave you "Up Schitt's Creek"!!

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!

I just now finally got around to watching Schitt's Creek after hearing so many great things about it and I have to agree, it's hilarious. Levy and O'Hara are comedy legends and as brilliant as they are here it's not just them carrying the show like you would think. The entire cast is great, there's usually a weak link or someone who isn't as funny as the others when it comes to these ensemble shows (obviously there are exceptions like Seinfeld, Friends, etc. Where the entire cast is equally great) but not here, every single one of them is great and will make you laugh out loud. Every season is just as funny as the others, there is no drop in quality at all. The episodes are fast paced and so funny that they fly by. Schitt's Creek should be a must watch for any fans of sitcoms because this is one of the great ones.

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.
