[quote=Anonymous]Schitt's Creek is one of my favorite television shows of the past 20 years, but I don't love everything about it.   :wink:

[[u]b]What I love:[/b][/u]

1. The characterization is perfection. Every character is well-developed, with incredible character development through the seasons.

2. The storylines are clever.

3. The humor is subtle. I hate laughtracks and being "told" when to laugh, so I adore that SC has zero forced humor.

4. The town is an ideal place to live, a town in which there is no racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, or judgment. The townspeople are NEVER treated as ignorant, bumbling, simple people just because they live in a small town.

5. The wardrobe is stunning. I drool over every one of Moira's outfits, almost all of Alexis's dresses and shoes, and all of David's sweaters and sweatshirts.

6. Dan Levy, as David, is fantastic. He is the king of facial expressions.

7. Catherine O'Hara, as Moira, is so over-the-top that she is absolutely enjoyable at all times, even when she is saying something inappropriate.

8. Annie Murphy, as Alexis, is endearing. She is not the self-absorbed socialite she appears to be in the first few episodes. Annie brings heart into her character.

9. Emily Hampshire, as Stevie, is amazing.  Her deadpan humor, dedication to her character's friendships with David and Johnny in particular, and surprising change in later seasons are all fun and heart-warming.

10. Eugene Levy, as Johnny, is so perfect as the "straight man." I love that you can see how much he loves his family.

11. Noah Reid, as Patrick. I love everything about this character and the way Noah performed him.

12. Sarah Levy, as Twyla. She is the heartbeat of the show. Her optimism is admirable. And she has a beautiful voice!

13. The musical moments in the show-- the Jazzagals in general, Patrick's "The Best," David's lip-sync of "The Best," the cast performance of  "Cabaret," the Jazzagals at the graduation, the Jazzagals at the wedding, and the cute songs to which the characters dance in several episodes-- are all enjoyable.

14. The sets never look like sets. The motel rooms look "lived in," the Cafe looks worn but clean, Mutt's barn looked like a barn, and so on.

[b][u]What I don't like as much:[/u][/b]

1. Chris Elliot, as Roland. I find him annoying. Thankfully, his character only shows up occasionally.

2. Jenn Robertson's character of Jocelyn. I like her A LOT more than Roland, but I wouldn't consider her to be one of my favorite secondary characters.

3. Dustin Milligan, as Ted. I find that character to be a bit irritating. All the puns are just too much for me.
