How long does it take to love Schitt’s Creek?

I loved it from the first episode. On season 2 now. I

I don't understand people saying they couldn't get through one episode - its only 20 minutes, jeez.

Ha I liked it from the get go.

Another one to try is New Girl.

I only made it through half an episode of SC. My recent laugh out loud moments have come from Kim's Convenience, which I liked from the get go.

Couldn’t get into Kim’s Convenience. Even the clips weren’t funny.

Especially since we’re always looking for something light and funny to watch.

I loved Ted Lasso though. I think I just enjoy the culture clash on that one more because the protagonist isn’t cynical, and the cynicism of others is played as a joke. I have really grown to detest cynicism and even though it’s not the heart of Schitt’s Creek, there’s a lot of it in the early episodes and it just puts a damper on it for me.

It’s actually a relief sometimes to realize a show everyone loves just isn’t for me. It’s like a reminder that I still can still think for myself and don’t have to like things because everyone else does.

I don’t understand what is eyeroll worthy about the bolder statement.

DP. It is obnoxious in its pretension and condescension.

How is it pretentious or condescending. I honestly don't get it. Why is it pretentious not to like a show others enjoy? Why is it condescending to realize that means I'm still in touch with my own tastes and preferences and not caving to peer pressure to enjoy something popular? I didn't mean it in a condescending or pretentious way so I am confused as to why it's being taken that way.

“Sometimes I worry that I’ve become as basic as the rest of you, but then I realize the stuff you like is beneath me and I feel better.”

Not every thought in your head needs to be said aloud (or posted on the internet).

DP. I think the bolder statement is a Rorschach test — it reveals insecurity. (If you’re offended by it, you’re insecure.)

Definitely! A far funnier show.

I am the original PP and I just want to state I like lots of popular things and don’t consider my taste particularly uncommon. Which is why it’s kind of a relief to watch SC, something everyone I know enjoys, and think “Huh, don’t get it, not for me.” My statement wasn’t about people who like SC. It was about me. That’s why I was confused when several posters were upset by it.

I love the shows in OP’s post - and SC and Kim’s Convenience. And Catastrophe! Not the Office so much.
