This is a very unusual comedy spanning 6 seasons. It gets a little too gay at the end but provides lots of laughs with clever writing. Eugene Levy leads as Johnny Rose and 2 of his real life children are also in the sitcom. We liked it.

We loved it.

You have to like really quirky shows. It’s kinda Northern Exposure-esque in its characters. I dig weird, quirky characters.

One of the most binge worthy series out there, and also a great one to have just on in the background when you have stuff to do around the house.

David Rose : Oh my god, is this not your mother's recipe?

Moira Rose : Yes, and now I'm passing it on to you! So try to keep up. Next step is to fold in the cheese.

David Rose : What does that mean? What does "fold in the cheese" mean?

Moira Rose : You fold it in.

David Rose : I, I understand that, but how, how do you fold it? Do you fold it in half like a piece of paper and drop it in the pot, or what do you do?

Moira Rose : David, I cannot show you everything.

David Rose : OK, well, can you show me one thing?

Moira Rose : You just... here's what you do. You just fold it in.

David Rose : OK, I don't know how to fold broken cheese like that.

Moira Rose : David, then I don't know how to be any clearer! You take that thing that's in your hand and you...

We started watching this when it first came out, the established cast held some promise. Not impressed, droll at best early on. But we kept at it, some adequate episodes along the way.

It never delivered to a point that we were hate watching it to see how it would find new ways to disappoint.

It finally got to the point that David had to fully come out, his flamboyance was over the top. Sticky, cloying over the top. By then all the characters started adapting his delivery and sound, particularly the sister. It's like David Levy was controlling the whole product. It became David Schitt's Creek. By the end it was insufferable in it's self satisfaction. The follow up special was so full of itself and, of course, all the woke awards shows loved it because of its oh so brave wokery so the people behind this show became even more smug.

Schitt's Creek wasn't very funny to be sure nor was it entertaining.

It had its ebbs & flows, but overall we enjoyed it.

I thought it was excellent. Funny, and full of surprises, which is virtually unheard of in television. Catherine O'Hara was great, and the actress who played the daughter turned that character, who started out being the least important of the main cast, into one of the better characters.

It was not particularly woke, except that David Levy's character is gay and out. He is fairly flamboyantly gay, but is also just a weirdo. It isn't woke except that the show treats the gay romance in the same way it would treat a straight romance. It didn't politicize race, or even politicize the gay character. If treating gay characters as you would treat straight characters is woke, then okay, it is woke.

Levy (Sr) is hilarious, and I like O'Hara, too, largely from their Christopher Guest film work.

I'll check this out.
