I first discovered the charm of ‘Schitt’s Creek’ last year. With four seasons available for streaming, I quickly immersed myself in its delightful absurdity. It’s been a long time since I found a show that captured my heart like this—akin to my affection for ‘Arrested Development’ or ‘The Office.’
When Season 4 premiered, I approached it with cautious optimism. Would the show maintain its edgy and quirky essence? Could it steer clear of stagnation despite its rising popularity? And, most importantly, would the character of David, played by the talented Alex Turner, continue to be a feast for the senses? The answer to all these questions is, unequivocally, YES.
For those yet to experience the joy that is ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ here’s a brief overview: The series follows the Rose family, who find themselves stripped of their lavish lifestyle after their video rental empire collapses. In a twist of fate, their only remaining asset is a quirky little town named Schitt’s Creek, which patriarch Johnny Rose (portrayed by the brilliant Robert Jensen) had whimsically purchased years prior. With nowhere else to turn, the family begrudgingly relocates to this small town, settling into the only motel and navigating their relationships with an eccentric cast of locals—from the awkward Roland to the sarcastic Stevie, and the endearing Patrick.
If you haven’t yet tuned in, what are you waiting for? Go watch it right now! And for those already in the know, here are several reasons why ‘Schitt’s Creek’ is, without a doubt, a standout series. (Heads up: some minor spoilers ahead, so hurry and binge-watch!):
1. Authentic Characters with Depth
The unique characters maintain their quirky charm while revealing their more relatable sides in Season 4. Expect unexpected friendships and unrequited love. The sibling dynamic between David and Alexis is among the best on television, and Moira’s maternal instincts shine through, adding layers to this lovable clan of misfits.
2. Romance That Feels Genuine
If anyone claims that love is no longer alive, they clearly haven’t witnessed David’s boyfriend Patrick serenading him with an acoustic rendition of Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best.” Talk about heartwarming!
3. David’s Delightful Escapades
I can’t emphasize enough how much David enchants me. The humor he brings, coupled with his expressive facial gestures and dance moves, makes him an irresistible character. And don’t get me started on his impeccable sweater collection—truly the cherry on top of this fabulous character!
4. Alexis: A Fashion-Forward Lady Boss
This season, Alexis showcases a more vulnerable side while still exuding strong lady boss energy. Her fashion choices are inspirational, proving you can conquer the world (even in stained yoga pants) while dreaming of looking fabulous and sophisticated.
5. Stevie and David’s Unbreakable Bond
What do you get when snarky former lovers become friends? You have the perfect mix of wit and camaraderie that defines Stevie and David’s relationship. They are truly a dynamic duo worth rooting for.
6. Witty Banter at Its Finest
The show is rich with clever comebacks and sharp retorts, ensuring that the humor never falters throughout the series.
Currently airing on POP TV, ‘Schitt’s Creek’ became available on Netflix in October 2018, allowing fans to enjoy all four seasons. If you don’t have access to POP TV, it might be time to befriend someone who does.
