    Schitts creek.

    It was pushed so hard by Netflix when it first came out that I ignored it. Just seemed like an overdone rich fish out of water idea and I just wasn’t interested.

    I finally got round to it when I think they did another promotional push. After watching it I basically forced every person I know to watch it and it is now a comfort show that I’ve watched a bazillion times.

    But it is just so good.

      As a Canadian, when it was first released I assumed it was being pushed so hard because it was Canadian content. Then when I got around to watching it I was so pleasantly surprised. My little maple syrup heart was so happy to see it recognized widely as the absolute gem it is.

      Help me through this, because I watched the first couple seasons, maybe even the first three? To the point where the son opens up his own store.

      I found it charming, quirky, and largely enjoyable. But then it just sort of felt repetitive? Like, I couldn’t see where the plot was going and the characters while enjoyable, I felt I’d enjoyed enough.

      Is there a drastic uptick that I just needed to hold out for? Or at that point is the show pretty much what you sees what you get?

        I think it’s one of the few shows I’ve ever watched with genuine character growth. A ton of shows will have a character grow and then walk it back, or don’t even bother. Schitt’s Creek didn’t turn them into Mary Sues - they’re still flawed but they also learn how to look outside their bubble.

        If it’s not clicking for you after season 3, it may not be the show for you. A lot of people didn’t love the first season as it found its footing, but everyone I know that loved it was fully invested in season 2.

        If David didn’t have an effect on you? Why the fuck are you ending statements with question marks?

        😂

          I see it as a stand-in for the inflection people sometimes make irl when seeking affirmation for what they’re saying. Imo, it’s not bad as a way to add tone or subtext (“I get this might be an unpopular opinion; what do you think?”), but it is not grammatically correct in a professional email

        Yeah keep watching. David and the store is a big thing. The character arcs are worth it. Some very heartwarming stuff coming up with everyone.
