[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to like everything that is popular. I have seen people post on here numerous times about how good Schitts Creek is. I tried twice; couldn’t get past the 3rd episode. I hated it. It’s just wasn’t for me.[/quote]

I love White Lotus but felt the same way about Schitts Creek. A lot of people I knew raved about it so I really tried to get into it because it's fun to be into the same shows your friends and family are watching. I just couldn't do it.

Yet I really enjoyed White Lotus from the jump. I think it's funny and interesting and I like how it shows aspects of relationships that don't get depicted onscreen very often. Like I liked that the newlyweds in S1 focused on her discovering he has this really problematic character trait (incredibly petty and thin skinned) and realizing she kind of rushed into this marriage, and having to figure out how to deal with that. Or how in S2 there were the two guys who had been friends since college and had this subtle rivalry that was now complicated by the "beta" friend suddenly becoming very, very rich. I just find that stuff thought provoking because those nuanced situations rarely get featured in a TV show -- usually relationships are drawn more broadly than that. It reminded me of how some of my favorite books portray very complicated relationships between multidimensional people.

And then in addition to that, I find the show really laugh out loud funny sometimes. So just enjoyable all around. Whereas Schitt's Creek, which was actually written as a comedy, never made me laugh. But again, lots of people whose opinions I respect love that show. Different strokes for different folks.[/quote]
