Schitts Creek deserves its own thread (which may contain spoilers)

Like a lot of people I started watching this after everyone talking about it this year and saying how good the characters are. Watched the first two seasons of this a couple of months ago and then gave up. TV kept watching so I’ve seen a fair few further episodes.

Disappointed that I didn’t get in to it at all. Primarily I just thought it wasn’t funny. Didn’t feel any affection for the characters either. Worst of all is the Roland character who is so irritating and is in it so much. Might have persisted further without him.

Roland is definitely in the first season far too much. The main story revolves around him in most of the episodes.

In the other seasons I think he is used as more of a background character and is much more tolerable.

Got this in the post today from my team in work

I’ll work in that edge-of-town bar that they go to once or twice please thanks

Sort of crazy how this reached peak popular culture/word of mouth exposure just as they decided to end it, wasn’t it?

Feel like they could’ve really cashed in if they’d done a couple more seasons.

Started watching this last night. Does it get better after season 1 like most American programs? It’s fine so far just struggling to see how it’s so well thought of.

[colon_closed_bracket]

Yes, it definitely gets better - characters become more rounded and the irritating ones become more bearable!

[tattybye]

Honestly I’d probably read the synopsis and skip to episode six of the first season. That’s generally considered the point where it gets better.

Literally everyone I’ve told about this show felt like they had to power through the first season. It takes a while for it to warm up.

Been watching this over holiday.

Up to almost end of season 2 and it’s so good.

“Alexis there are parts of this paper that sounds like they were written by someone else.”

“Oh. Thank you!”

[Roughyed]

Part way through Season 3 and I have to admit once Patrick turns up it gets a million times better.

[grievoustim]

I started it ages ago then gave up then have started again cos of all the hype and I do like it

BUT

It’s a bit tooooo nicey nicey. There I said it. Sitcoms are better when the characters are unhappy with their lives

[colon_closed_bracket]

I know what you mean. But I’d watched the entire of BoJack Horseman followed by The Thick Of It, so it was a nice relief

[Roughyed]

Finished. It was fine I don’t quite understand why it got so much love reminded me most of Parks & Rec. Moira was probably the best character.

But, it was something nice to watch for a change and at the moment something nice to watch was needed. Going watching Peep Show now though.

Nah, we need more nice tv, far less of it than when I was younger it feels. I dont want to watch TV to see bad experiences. Schitts Creek and Ghosts have been absolute joys

[spicer]

I didn’t really get this until I ate some gummies halfway through season 3 and it clicked (also I think it just got a lot better around then). Just silly, lovely characters, recurring jokes, ended up doing the last season in a day I think.

Finished this last night and thought it was great. David and Patrick’s relationship did a lot of the heavy lifting though. One of my all time favourite couples.
