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

[Anonymous]

I tried watching SC a year or so ago and gave up after 2-3 episodes. After many recommendations from friends to keep going and that it gets better I tried it again starting over from episode 1. I'm on season 4 now and I love it. It gets better each episode as the characters find their place, but it really hits its stride midway through season 2. To me this show is very funny and heartwarming in a way that you don't usually see on TV.

Cannot get through episode 1.

Patrick has a heart of gold. I love how he transforms David.

+1. I love Patrick’s character and their relationship.

The scene where he sings to David. My heart explodes just thinking about it.

I like the character and love Moira in general, but even when I enjoy an episode, I will just forget I’m watching it and neglect to watch more, which isn’t a great sign. 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.

DP. You're fine. You just come off sounding more thoughtful than the majority of the population.

Same! My DH never really got into it, but we've never shared the same taste in comedies.

Is it laugh out loud hilarious? No, but the appeal to me is that it's an EASY show to watch. There is no shock value like every other show has to have. No raunch. You can turn it on and watch it with family and it's no big deal. It's wholesome and a turn back to how shows used to be.

My only complaint is that Catherine O'Hara's character gets old for m. Because her character's acting, she is acting the entire time and I just can't tolerate it.

Nobody gives a f what you tolerate

It’s more of a feel good show than guffaw guffaw comedy.
I liked it from scene 1, episode 1 when the maid opens the door, sees a bunch of feds and says “Immigration?”

I liked it just a few episodes in, however, I find most of the characters super annoying. I can't stand how dramatic Moira is, David is so annoying, Stevie is not my type, Roland is just too much, Alexis is so ditzy at times, yet, I love the show so much. I'm probably watching it for the 3rd or 4th time. I love seeing the growth in characters, especially Alexis.
