Schitts Creek is Aaaashtonishing!
In today's TV world of uninspired shows, how on earth did this little Canadian sleeper take it to the full Monty?
I think their recipe was simple and timeless. Take a full cup of quirky yet interesting characters, "fold in" the shredded development of said characters with a riches, to rags to enrichment story line.
Then sprinkle some great situational comedic plot lines, being sure to stir it in carefully so as not to overmix and cause the formation of ridged stereotypes. Give it just a dash of drama to keep it real and sprinkle liberally with love, hope and care. Bake for exactly six seasons at the highest degree of incredible actor talents and remove when done.
When ready to serve, be sure to adorn with plenty of beautifully eccentric costumes, capricious vocabulary, and a purely touching moment or two.
And THAT folks is my take on the most enjoyment I've had with a TV show in a very long time - and that's no "pettyfogging".
