best Schitt's Creek character

Schitt’s Creek and Manhunter take place in the same cinematic universe.

Tooth Fairy came from Rose Video before killing the family at the beginning

Just realized the son is Levy’s son! Ahahaha

...

man had no idea Daniel Levy was related to Eugene Levy

next you'll tell me O'Shea Jackson is O'Shea Jackson, Jr's dad!

It took me years to learn that too...

I just noticed Daniel levy’s name a couple episodes ago and I kept waiting for the dad’s brother to show Up

wait till you find out about Sarah Levy

lol

He came by those eyebrows honest

Levy brows are legit

they could clean a chalkboard

I'm occasionally caught off guard by Eugene's handsomeness.

Now it's bugging me - where was a recent discussion of how Eugene Levy had surprisingly blossomed into a silver fox here or on Twitter?

It was here, sometime prior to the existence of any dedicated Schitt's threads (maybe the Netflix one).

Of course. Thank you:

Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

My wife was finally worn down by all of the recommendations and started watching this again, and I think she's finally hooked. I, on the other hand, keep getting drawn in and pulled out, over and over again, often times in the middle of an episode. It's so reliably amusing, and yet ... rarely goes beyond that. At the same time, it's so good natured about the way it's amusing and so committed to being good natured and amusing that I can sometimes go along with it, but then other times it's so lazy about it, so generically sitcom-y, that I can't. Like, I expect a funny twist or reveal but no, it's just goes exactly where you think it'll go. (fwiw, I think we just finished S2). I'm not sure I've been so consistently thrown off by a sitcom since ... Happy Endings? (Which is also of course usually pretty funny, but sometimes similarly so square it seems like a parody of a sitcom.)

That's a very S1/S2 reaction! I broadly felt the same until halfway through S3, when the show really starts hitting its mark.

I'm going to be really curious to see what Annie Murphy brings to S2 of Russian Doll, that's an interesting addition.

Whoa, didn't realize that happened. But it makes me happy. I hope to see a lot more of her because she's crazy good.

And yeah, I sound like a broken record, but if you get through the third season and you still don't find the journey of any of the main cast emotionally gripping then the show is decidedly not for you.

the david/stevie/patrick trifecta's arch sarcasm just becomes totally insufferable sometimes but that's life ay

can't believe anybody hates roland, he probably makes me snort more than anybody else

moira starts becoming positively THOUGHTFUL in S5 which i never saw coming

annie murphy also has a new show on AMC called "Kevin Can F*ck Himself" (censorship not mine). it looks bad but hayes and sean from hollywood handbook are writers on it.

schitt's creek is a good cheesy sitcom. that's all it is. that's OK.

annie murphy also in russian doll 2

lol, does like 85% of the board have me killfiled at this point?

did somebody just say something?

(sorry jon)

we finally made it to the episode where jake invites patrick and david over to "have some whiskey.. or whatever" and this reinforced the fact that jake really is the best character. also, stevie's "must you take everything i have" line was hilarious (the whole ep was great really).

OK, we must have hit the aforementioned season 3 sweet spot, since we've had a few really funny episodes in a row. It's interesting, while I know there are as many exceptions as there are examples, sometimes it seems like comedies take a season or so to hit their stride, whereas dramas often start out strong but quickly lose steam or go off the rails.

i’m halfway through S6 and already dreading it ending. it gets stronger and stronger. alexis’ story gets unfeasibly touching.

Maybe I'm a bitter old cynic, but I've watched it to the end and the smattering of good jokes did not compensate for the endless sickly deluge of characters saying how much they loved each other.

LOOK MAYBE I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW

xpost spoilers

I finished it and yyyyeaaah it gets pretty self-indulgent in the last ep or 2, but I feel like that's allowed. It does become slightly too much 'The David Show' which is maybe less allowed. And I'm not sure I buy David resisting the allure of New York. Surprisingly affecting moment for Roland in that boardroom - genuinely unexpected.

I've been enjoying imagining favourite albums for each of the characters.

David - Violator.
Alexis - What's an album? Any playlist with "Ibiza" in the title
Moira - The Way We Were soundtrack by Marvin Hamlisch
Johnny - Jim Croce, I Got A Name

Come on, Alexis's favorite album is a total gimme.

We are somewhere in season 4, and this remains something like a cross between Local Hero and Three's Company.

haha that's dead on
