Anyone here watch Schitt’s Creek?

Hah, kinda agree? Physically, he's not necessarily my usual type, but I do admittedly go for the personality and all the Rick Owens he wears makes me extra into it 🥵😅
Hang in there. In my opinion this show has Parks and Rec syndrome - first season sucks, but it gets better after. It didn't feel like they exactly knew what to do with the characters in Season 1. I think the show really hits its stride part of the way into the second season, and everything after that is great. It goes from being an okayish sitcom to something truly special by the end.
Started watching this weekend and really loving it.
This scene is pretty great.

Hands down one of my favorite shows ever made, and it will scratch the lovable comedy itch that a lack of The Office may be leaving in your life right now on Netflix. First couple episodes may take some getting used to but it really is fantastic pretty much out of the gate.
This is a great show to fall asleep to. I don't mean that as an insult, cuz I think the show is good. It's a real mellow, Canadian version of Arrested Development, and it's chillll.
Funny but not laugh out loud most of the time. You have Eugene Levy's ASMR-like vocal tone, no overly loud noises, the transition music is a soft tuba...it's really a comfy show to put on if you feel like dozing off. Try it, I'm not kidding

I know this is an old thread that was bumped, but this is legit one of my favorite shows of all time. I think its a shame that it takes until the season 2 finale to really "click," but once it does it is simply amazing.
It's also super important to me as a young gay man. It feels like the first time I've seen a queer male couple represented on screen and just... happy. Not problematic. Not tragic. Just happy and in love.
Also, as much as I love each and every character, I feel I could write a thesis on why Alexis is the beating heart of this show. I feel like she is super underrated.

It is amazing show that is always funny and has a great redemptive arch for every character.
One of the GOAT sitcoms.

6 seasons?! It looks funny, so I'll give it a go if people are comparing it to Arrested Development cause haven't been watching any comedies recently.
I'm on season 5 now and I think it might be the best/funniest season yet. The episode where they run over the cat is so great.
The dynamic of the show is basically Moira, David, Alexis and Roland are just absolutely nuts and the funny situations that ensue when everyone else interacts with them.

6 might be my favorite. It really finished strong where I wanted more.
We just started watching this last weekend and we're almost at Season 3, and I think I like it. The actors are all incredible. I'm a Canadian guy who grew up on SCTV, and have always loved Eugene and Catherine, but honestly, SCTV was never this funny. I can't get over David and Alexis. They are so emotive. So cartoonish. In fact all the characters are so cartoonish. All the performances from the Roses especially.
I love the refrain of "Why are you yelling?".
I really didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I am. I watched some episodes from the first season when it was first on on CBC, but I couldn't find the humor. It grows on you though. Feels weird posting this after they won all those awards and accolades, but people who are on the fence should probably check this out.

No, my friend keeps trying to get me to watch it. But I much prefer water in my creeks, not schitt.
Wife and I finally got around to watching this. She that it was great. I thought it was......OK? I feel like I'm missing something?
Yeah it's alright. I definitely don't get all the hype for it. It's not bad, but it's not really much better than a mid-tier NBC comedy of the 2010s. It's just kinda there.
My wife adores this show. Loves every character.
It's fine
edit: she just rewatched the episode where that guy sings simply the best to the other guy, I don't even know their names and I thought it was very moving.
sweet show

I enjoyed it, it's funny. But I hate all the characters, basically. They're so deeply unlikeable and I never was able to get into beyond the surface level. A story about a bunch of rich assholes going to live in a city filled with middle class assholes didn't really endear itself to me.
Stevie is good tho.

Weird take to me. First off I don't think SC is supposed to represent "the middle class" but that's kind of irrelevant. You're not necessarily supposed to like the Rose family but it's not like they're evil and straight-up shitty rich people from start to finish. The whole thing of them being oblivious, shallow and self-indulgent, making fun of it but also showing how they evolve as they spend more time there is supposed to be the point and attempts to make it funny and I think succeeds 100% on all fronts.
I was basically forced to watch this show by a group of bartenders who started saying my name like Alexis (my name just so happens to be "David"). They bought this for me:
It's a great show, and it's great how the characters grow and evolve during the seasons. It also has a surprising amount of genuine moments that elevates the series past the just a silly comedy type of show.
It starts slow, but once it finds its rhythm it only gets better and better. It's also one the most quotable series ever. My partner and I quote it literaly every day. Nom nom for us, David.
You can literally watch a whole season in a single seating. The episodes are super short.

Middle class or not, I thought a lot of the residents of the titular Schitts Creek were pretty shitty and unlikeable. Maybe that was the point?
And I had a hard time finding anything to like about the Roses. I found it impossible to buy into a story about a bunch of rich assholes needing to become good people. Just couldn't care less.
So I wasn't able to connect to any characters and viewed it purely superficially for the jokes, which were pretty funny admittedly.
None of this applies to Stevie though, she's great. Would rather have a show about her.
It's a great show.
The fact that three of the characters elevate - sometimes rather 'ordinary' dialogue - by acting the hell out of it (Moira's accent, David's ... Davidness, but also Alexis, when she's doing her best to keep up the facade of her friendly face even though she's sad / disgusted)

Weird as it sounds, I like the show despite not finding it very funny. I get a laugh out of it from time to time but I mostly just watch it because I enjoy the characters. Moira and Alexis are my favourites.
I forgot to follow-up, me and my wife finished it a month ago and loved it!
did anyone notice... I think in maybe the last 4 episodes or so, it looks like they started shooting the show on high end movie cameras or something? Like the show looks noticeably different in the final few episodes. Maybe it was actually the entire last season?
yeah I binged this recently and loved it, just good vibes from this show and cast. took a while to get into though as one character looks exactly like an ex of mine and turns out that's really distracting
I wish I had Moira's vocabulary. The way she talks is a word nerd's dream.
...and I'll take a few of David's sweaters too.

Ewww....David.
Starting watching season 1 and probably watch it through again.
How long do you have to stick with it until it clicks? It's on a subscription service I usually wouldn't use here in Germany and I've tried two or three episodes while I had it for some other content but sadly I couldn't really get into it. Seemed average to me. Not offensively bad but certainly not in the league of Arrested Development or Parks & Rec..
I get this. The show rarely made me laugh but I stillill enjoyed it. And in the later seasons I mostly stuck around for David and Patrick's relationship.
