I SIMMONS

I just happened upon Schitt’s Creek on Netflix and fell in love. Before work, after work and right before bed I was binging it as much as I could and I just finished season 5. I loved every bit of it. Each character is so well developed and holds their place with so much vigor and commitment. I can’t choose a favorite. You combine the parents who I’ve always admired and are Hollywood Royalty with a supporting cast that I’ve fallen in love with and you have the perfect sitcom Thank you

Going into the movie the police stop would’ve realistically ended with 2 shot and 1 person walking free again. This time the tables turn and we have a hurt, broken (rightfully so) woman together with an innocent naive man, leading him down a path that she knows will end in death, and he eventually reaches that same conclusion. As the film moves on, you realize “Queen” needs this adventure and connection to another human being and her past to reconcile who she is. The silly delays of the 2nd date, riding a horse and running out of gas twice reminds you that these are not career criminals, but 2 humans trying to find a way out of a situation that can never be. The support received along the way is uplifting and the end is beautiful and heartbreaking. This parallels The Joker in that a faction of society that is forgotten and devalued can gravitate and uplift that which will give them a voice.
