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.

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).

two weeks pass...

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

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.
